Study Introductory Days (SET)

↓ Directly to the programme

At the beginning of each semester, the MPIC Student Council organizes an introductory event for the new freshmen (Bachelor and Master), the Introductory Study Days (SET).

The SET for the winter semester 2025/26 will take place from Thursday, October 09 to Sunday, October 12. They will be held in person, without the possibility to participate online.

Additionally, we will offer guided institute tours and bar tours in the week prior.

Registration: You do not need to register for SET in general, but individual events may require registrations due to a capacity limit. If this is the case, it will be posted here on this page, we will update the information regularly.

We have also written an Erstiguide for you. You can find the newer German version here and the English version of the previous year here.

Pub crawls

We are offering this SET again with several pub crawls. Get to know your fellow students and the Munich pub scene better at the same time! No registration is needed, just appear at the meeting point! You will recognize us by our light-blue shirt.

The meeting point in the semester WiSe25 was the Universität underground station (LMU), at the eastern fountain. The routes used in that semester can be found here.

Date
Thursday, 2 October, 6 p.m.
Friday, 3 October, 6 p.m.
Saturday, 4 October, 6 p.m.

Guided tours of the institutes

This year, there will once again be guided tours of various institutes on campus. The institute tours will take place during the week of the 8th October to 10th October. The tours will be led by the institutes themselves. The institute tours have a limited number of participants and therefore require prior registration.

You can register via the SET-Tool.

Program for winter semester 2025/26

Exact times and lecture halls may change until the SET. The dates for programme-specific events may vary; the information provided by your programme coordinator is valid!
