Incoming exchange students are expected to arrive in Berlin two weeks before the start of the lecture period. This corresponds to the beginning of the Orientation Days. After arrival considerable time must be devoted to administrative procedures.

At the end of the lecture period, students should make sure that they have enough time for exams. Please have a look at the web page "Exam Schedule" (on the bottom of this page under "Related Links") which provides more information on prospective exam dates.
