• Apart from the subject-specific information events, we also offer a “Mastercafé” for all first-year students in our master's programs which will take place on Thursday, 09 April 2026, starting at 2:30 pm (location: Cyber Valley Campus, building MvL1, Maria-von-Linden-Str. 1, level 6). During the Mastercafé, you will not only be able to exchange with other students over coffee/tea and sweets, but also with lecturers and the persons responsible for your degree program and ask your questions. To judge the attendance rate we kindly ask you to register for this event until Friday, 03. April 2026, via this registration link.

On Friday, 10 April 2026, starting at 4:00 pm, our traditional term opening event for all students at the Department of Computer Science will take place (Location: Cyber-Valley Campus, Maria-von-Linden-Str. 1, ground floor). As part of the term opening you will learn about new developments in the department, and there will also be brief presentations of various courses that are offered in the elective areas as well as opportunities for exchange with other students and the professors afterwards. Please help us in in judging the attendance rate by signing up for this ILIAS course (Note: You will need your central login ID for the registration via ILIAS.)

The student councils Computer Science (FSI) and Cognitive Science (FSK) organize an informal social program with lots of activities to help you get to know your fellow students, students from higher semesters and the city of Tübingen. Further information can be found on the website of the Student Council Computer Science.

In addition, the university also offers central, interdisciplinary information on the start of studies around the beginning of the lecture period (e.g. introductions to the student administration portal “alma” and information events on the topic of “Studying with disabilities”).
