ORIENTATION WEEK
For international students of the Faculty of Natural Science and Technology
EUSMAT organizes every year in October an Orientation Week for international students of different study programmes, Phd-students and Post-docs of the faculty of Natural Science and Technology at Saarland University.
During this week, the students taking part are prepared for their stay abroad. Intercultural training and Job application workshops play an especially large role in this preparation.
It is possible to participate in the whole programme or to choose specific elements. Thus, for ATLANTIS, I.DEAR and KOSPIE students the whole programme is compulsary. If you belong to one of these three groups, please fill in the form anyways and choose all offered slots because this facilitates our planning procedure.
The event takes place from October 7th to 10th 2024 at the Campus of the Saarland University in Building D3.3, in the Seminar room on the first floor (if nothing different is indicated). The tentative programme can be seen in following table:

Welcome and Introduction
In the first block of the event you will receive information about the university, the different departments and programmes. Moreover, the coordinators of the different programmes as well as the EUSMAT team will be present. You will have the opportunity to get direct advice about the academic activities to be done during your stay at the Saarland University and you will meet other students.
Intercultural Communication Training
Intercultural training plays an important role in the preparation of students for their stay abroad. Starting with an orientation before the beginning of your studies, you will then be prepared for the intercultural challenges during your studies in Germany.
Job Application and Job Interview training
In these workshops you will learn how to apply properly for a job. The workshop learders will show you how to present yourself confidently in a job interview and how to prepare attractive CVs and Cover Letters for internships and jobs in Germany.
Visit of Villeroy & Boch
We will charter a bus and drive together with other Materials Science and Engineering students to Mettlach where we will visit the Ceramics Factory of V&B.
