Invitation to StEP for Winter Semester 2025/2026
Dear first semesters,
Only about two weeks left until lectures begin.
Whether you are new to university, new to this university, or new to your degree program, you are bound to have a few burning questions.
To answer these questions and welcome you to the university, we are organizing the Student Orientation Phase (StEP) for students of computer science and related subjects from Wednesday to Friday in the week before lectures begin.
The first meeting will take place on October 8, 2025, at 9:00 am in the Günter-Hotz Lecture Hall in building E2 2.
At the StEP you will learn everything you need to know about your studies, as well as your new university, its procedures and organizations, how to get around in Saarbrücken and – if you just arrived from abroad – some quick-start tips for Germany.
Among other things, we will show you how to find your thesis topic, how you can plan your schedule, how far your semester ticket is valid, and what else our campus has to offer.
We will not only prepare you for your everyday life as a student, but also show you how to navigate through the jungle of institutions and facilities on campus. Starting with examination offices, the language center, the AStA, gastronomy and also possibilities to do sports, up to institutes like the International Students Centre Saar.
We hope to answer all your questions about your studies and to help you to make the start into your studies as smooth as possible. You should plan to attend the presentations from 9 am to 4 pm.
But it’s not over after 4 pm! We have planned more events for you, such as a game night, a campus tour, a city tour and a pub crawl. This will give you the opportunity to get to know each other, your surroundings and student culture.
Room Closures And Ongoing Construction Work
The work is completed and the printer is now in 107.
Due to the Software Engineering Lab, some student workrooms will be closed until the beginning of October. Specifically, this affects:
- E1 3, 012
- E1 3, 103
- E1 3, 105
- E1 3, 106
- E2 4, 008
Furthermore, room 013 in E1 3 is no longer available as a student workroom. The student printer has therefore been temporarily moved to our student council room 109. This is because the university has modernised the technical equipment in the seminar rooms in building E1 3 during the lecture-free period. All seminar rooms have been fitted with new projectors, and room 016 is being equipped with a Teams meeting setup.
After consulting with us, it was decided that, for technical reasons, rooms 013 and 107 would swap functions as part of these works: Room 013 will become a seminar room, while room 107 will be set up as a student working room in future. This means that all seminar rooms are now located on the ground floor. As part of this renovation, our student printer will also be moved to the new workroom 107 as soon as the flooring in this room has been replaced.
Since Room 013 had to be cleared for construction work before Room 107 was completed, we have temporarily set up the printer in our student council room. For this reason, access to the printer must unfortunately be restricted until the final move to 107 (hopefully before the start of lectures):
During this time, it may only be used for thesis printing and only in the presence of a student council member. To print your thesis, you are welcome to drop by our room at any time. There is usually at least one member there in the afternoon and evening who can help you.
