Prospective students
Why study world literature?
Just take a look at what made our students choose this degree programme. In addition, our international students talk about their experiences with studying in Göttingen.Orientation week
Every year, in the week before the start of the lecture period in the winter semester (see dates and deadlines), an orientation week for first-semester students takes place, which we have shortened to the "O-week".During the O-week, you will receive all the important information for your start at the university. Participation in the O-week is not compulsory, but very helpful for a smooth start to your studies and especially for getting to know other students.
The World Literature student group has put together an informative and varied programme for O-Week 2023 in cooperation with the programme coordinator.
