we would like to cordially invite you to our Game Night taking place right after the Master Orientation Unit (for CS and CySec freshmen) on Tuesday October 7th, 2025!
The Game night will begin at 18:00 (6 p.m.) in the Foyer of the Institute of Computer Science, Friedrich-Hirzebruch-Allee 8 and will be held in English.

Whether you’re just starting out here in Bonn or have already been studying for a few semesters, we hope to provide a space for you to socialize, relax, and form connections that will help you throughout your student life!

There will be board games available in the Foyer (warning: many only have german instructions), as well as Karaoke in room 0.016, and additional space for games like Werewolf in room 0.011 of the Institute of Computer Science.
Feel free to stop by at any time, grab a drink from the Student Body office (right next to the foyer) and get to know your fellow students
You may also bring your friends or your own board games if you’d like.

Please note that the Game Night does not provide food, except for some cookies you can buy at the Student Body office.
That means if you’d like to eat dinner during the event, please remember to take care of your own food so you don’t starve on us
(Note: establishments near Campus tend to close around 19:00.)

If you have any questions about the game night, feel free to reach out to us!
During the game night, student body members will also be present whom you can talk to if anything comes up.

We hope you’re having a relaxing lecture-free period, and wish you a good start to the upcoming semester!

Kind regards,
Michael Kaibel (Student Body)
Linus Rodríguez-Gómez (Student Body)
Tina Taheri (Student Body)

Welcome to the University of Bonn!

Before anything:
You don’t have to (and can’t) sign up for lectures before the orientation unit.
So don’t worry about that.

We are happy to welcome you at the University of Bonn and hope that you arrived safely.
Regardless of whether you are going to study the Master Computer Science or Cyber Security you probably still have a lot of unanswered questions. Maybe even some that you didn’t know you had.
For example: What does “c.t.” mean? How do I register for a class? How do the exercises and the practice sheets work? Which lectures do I visit in my first semester?
Joint together, the student body and programme management want to help you answer these questions and many more.

At the beginning of every semester, the student body and programme management organize an orientation unit (OU) for new master students.

The most important goals of the OU are:

– Meet your peers – without friends, studying is hard!
– Get to know the unis facilities – so that you can find your way around!
– Take away the panic – it’s all going to work out fine!
– Answering your questions – so that you are well-prepared!
– Have fun – of course!

During the OU you will meet peers from higher semesters who will tell you anything you need to know.
We will show you the campus, and you will have plenty of time to get to know your peers.

The OU for master students takes place on Tuesday the 7th of October starting at 10:00 am in room 0.109 of the computer science building (Friedrich-Hirzebruch-Allee 6).
If you have time, we’d be happy to have you. You don’t need to register, just show up.

With kind regards
Michael Kaibel (Student Body)
Linus Rodríguez-Gómez (Student Body)
Tina Taheri (Student Body)
Hermann Haverkort (Programme Management)
Michael Nüsken (Programme Management)

PS:
If you are not able to attend this orientation, that is not a problem. The important information is also covered in the Master Inform (https://www.fachschaft.info/en/studienbeginn/master-inform/).

You can also always visit us on any other weekday in the Computer Science building (Friedrich-Hirzebruch-Allees 8) in room 0.019 (student body office), which is located in the foyer.

The international office also organizes the welcome days, which cover things like housing, funding and health insurance: https://www.uni-bonn.de/en/international/campus-international/welcome-days
