Study Introductory Days (SET)
Study Introductory Days (SET)
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.
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.
