Study start
A warm welcome!
We are delighted to welcome you as first-semester students to our faculty. To help you get off to a relaxed and smooth start to your studies, here is some information to help you get started. If you have any urgent questions, please do not hesitate to contact the GKM Faculty Secretariat. We wish you a good start and every success with your studies.
The first few days on campus
Here you will find important information to help you get off to a relaxed and smooth start to your studies. For Bachelor’s students, the first semester begins on 1 October. We hope to welcome many of you in person here at the university and have organised a range of activities and information sessions for you.
For the past few semesters, our faculty has run a buddy programme in which students from higher semesters (the buddies) offer their support during your first few weeks at the university. You will receive a detailed introduction to the programme and information on how to be matched with a buddy in the course of 1 October 2026.
We look forward to seeing you!
1 October – Start of the 2026 academic year – Orientation events
To ensure you are fully prepared for the start of your studies
Before the start of the academic year, there is an IT Q&A session in September for all first-year students, where you will learn everything you need to know about module enrolment, the software available, and so on. Make the most of this opportunity to ensure your start to your degree goes as smoothly as possible.
We also recommend that you take your time to complete your registration on the SSO portal before the start of the academic year.
To refresh, consolidate or expand your knowledge in specific subjects, we also offer preparatory bridging courses in mathematics, physics and electrical engineering in September.

What happens after 1 October?
Lectures for all degree programmes and all semesters begin on 2 October 2026 – unless otherwise stated in your timetables.
Enrolment in the Moodle courses for the modules:
Some modules have their own Moodle course, which you can enrol in even before lectures begin. In these Moodle courses, you will receive all the information you need for a good start directly from your respective lecturers.
Any questions...?
We won’t leave you to your own devices. We’ll be here for you over the coming weeks and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
You’re also welcome to speak to your fellow students from higher semesters, your buddies or the STUV.
We use the noticeboard to keep you informed of all relevant information and dates relating to your studies, such as cancellations of teaching sessions. Invitations to special events or excursions are also published here. Please log in to the noticeboard with your login details right at the start of the term.
