The department introduces itself

A warm welcome!
We are pleased that you have decided to study at the University of Kassel and especially for a subject from our Department of Social Sciences.
On the study information pages of the University we have compiled the essential information for a good start into your studies.
At the beginning of your studies, orientation days take place in the form of orientation tutorials (in short: "O-Tutorials"). Here you will learn everything you need to know for the start of your bachelor's or teacher training program at the Department 05 - Social Sciences.
The O-Tutorials are led by experienced students from higher semesters. They will accompany you at your start into this new (life) stage!
If there is anything else that is unclear to you, please contact us with your questions.
