Information on starting your studies
Thank you for choosing the HNEE!
The university welcomes you!
We start on 22 September with the induction week, during which you will receive the most important information about studying with us and spend the first few days in your degree programmes with your fellow students and lecturers, exchanging ideas and getting to know each other.
The highlight of the first week is the matriculation ceremony in Haus Schwärzetal with the presentation of the Sustainability Award of the City of Eberswalde and a lavish celebration on the city's market square. At the freshers' rally you will get to know the initiatives and clubs in our neighbourhood and round off the evening at the freshers' party.
Induction week: 22.09. to 26.09.2025 - Be part of it!
This page will be updated and supplemented on an ongoing basis.
