Students in their first semester of study are advised to register only after the orientation meeting. If you study in a program that does not manage registration via PULS, please contact the applicable institute / program. Further information is available on thePULS pages please see enrollment and registration deadlines. All dates and deadlines can also be found on the pages that provide information on the beginning of your studies.
