Your visa has been delayed; you had to take exams until the end of September; or you were only admitted to RWTH recently and therefore had to miss out on Welcome Week?

We are here to support you and we have also gathered information for you so that you will have everything you need to get started.
First of all, please take a look at the presentations and recordings from Welcome Week of the 2023 summer semester, which will be available from March 27, 2023 onward.
