Dear First-Years, welcome!

We are glad that you have chosen to further your scientific exploration of compounds, their composition and conversion.

However, every new site of a journey begins with new steps, and sometimes obstacles arise along the way. That is why we have prepared a comprehensive course on the following pages to help you overcome these obstacles and ensure that you have a lot of fun and success in your studies.

In addition, we have organized some Orientation Events for you to familiarize yourself with one another, the campus, and the institute.
