The city rally ends today at 4:00 p.m. The awards ceremony will take place at 5:00 p.m. at Königsplatz .

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

The SET for the winter semester 2026/27 will take place from Thursday, October 08th to Sunday, October 11th. 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.

Freshman Guide #

The version from last semester can be found here. A version for this semester will be handed out during the SET together with the goodie bags and will then also be published here.

Program for winter semester 2026/27 #

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!

Pub crawls #

We are again offering several pub crawls this SET. 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 purple shirts.

We will explore different Munich areas (Münchner Freiheit, Univiertel) in small groups of about 6-7 people. The central meeting point is at University in front of the fountain.

Guided tours of 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 5th October to 9th 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 Registration-Tool.

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 rally will take place at 11:00 am. 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 Mathematics/Informatics building.

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

Tutor Registration #

As a SET-tutor, you will help out with the execution of the different SET-events. For example, 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.
