We cordially invite you to our "Walk & Talk" – a relaxed get-together with a stroll through the Sanssouci Park in its autumnal beauty. "Walk & Talk" is meant to give you the opportunity to establish the first contacts with fellow students and to get to know your new university location from a different perspective. After the walk through the park, which will take about one hour and give you the opportunity to familiarize yourself with the university's advisory services, you will have a chance to explore the university dining hall with the help of our student assistants.
The team of the "One University for Everyone – Organizing Inclusive University Studies" project is committed to an open university that offers equal opportunities for all. We advise and support students facing special life situations including, for example, psychological impairments, chronic illnesses, a disability, but also care responsibilities, a special university entrance qualification or an urgent study-related stress situation.
Please register via eineunifueralleuni-potsdamde. In your registration e-mail, please let us know what your degree program is and whether you have any specific needs that we need to consider. We look forward to meeting you.
Information on the advisory services offered by the "One University for Everyone" team can also be found here.

More Information
Library introductions, which will take place online in the winter semester 2020/21, will help you find your way around the library. UB employees will show you how to find and borrow literature and will give advice on the use of electronic resources. For many degree programs, library introductions are already included and do not have to be booked separately. If no library event is planned for your subject during the introductory weeks, you are welcome to register for a course.
