Tuesday, 16.09.2025: Get-together and Game Night at the TechCampus
Meet your future fellow students as well as students from other faculties and degree programs at a relaxed get-together from 6:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. You are welcome to bring your own games, but a large selection will also be provided. Pizza, snacks, soft drinks, beer, and music will be available as well.

Wednesday, 17.09.2025: Interactive City Tour of Heilbronn
To help you get to know your future place of study better, we have prepared an interactive city tour with selected venues and legendary spots. You will have to solve various puzzles and work together as a team. At the end, there will be an award ceremony with prizes at the UnschlagBar in Heilbronn, where you can also round off the evening in a relaxed atmosphere – or continue exploring on your own (at that time, the Heilbronn Wine Festival will also be taking place in the city). The city tour will take place in teams, which we will randomly put together. The meeting point is at the TechCampus at the info counter near the main entrance.
You can register here starting now.

Online Orientation Days
