Dear prospective political science students, dear prospective social studies students,

we are happy to organize the Introductory Study Days (STET) together with you starting on October 5th. During the STET, you can expect a wealth of new information, from the structure of the timetable to tips on the most important places at the university and in Jena.
Together with the STET mentors and the institute, we want to support you as much as possible in your arrival in Jena and offer you information as well as the opportunity to get to know each other.

If you have problems understanding the Friedolin system or want to find your way around the city, you can find the right events for everything in the schedule.
If you don't want to miss anything or want to have more information, check out our Instagram account - here we give regular updates and keep you informed about everything during the STET!

If you can't attend the STET in person, we also offer an online consultation. For any further questions, you can also contact us for an individual online consultation.
