Study Introductory Days (SET)

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.

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!

Campus Rallye #

Get to know your fellow students that you met throughout the last few days even better by participating in a series of challenges! Earn points in weird and wonderful ways, it’ll definitely be something to remember!

The campus rallye will take place at 11am. There is no need to sign up in a central location! Simply independently form teams of 4 or 5 people and get going! If you’re looking for a team, come to the place where the breakfast took place, behind the Maths/Informatics building. Please be mindful of the conference taking place in the front half of the building, go around the building.

The first station will ask you for a team name, that will be used to register all the points you earn.

The stations are scattered throughout the campus, as seen on this map. There is a live leaderboard which can be found here. The leaderboard updates every few minutes!

The first, second and third place teams will earn a small prize, which will be announced at the bbq.

Tutor-Registration #

As a SET-tutor, you will help out with the execution of the different SET-event. For exxample, you might guide new students across the campus, help bake pizza or supervise a campus-rallye station.

You can register at our helper’s tool.
