Travel Planning
For practical advice on travel planning, visa formalities, cost of studies, health insurance and accommodation see the "Guide for international students".
At the latest you should be present for your matriculation day. You will find the date in your letter of confirmation. (For the winter semester it is usually the last week in September and for the summer semester it is usually the last week in March).
If you attend the Intensive German Language Course you should arrive in Berlin on 1 September for the winter semester and on 1 March for the summer semester.
