At our Pre-Arrival Mentoring Sessions, you will receive first-hand insights and practical tips from current international students at Freie Universität Berlin.

These events are especially recommended for all international students who have been admitted for the Winter Semester 2026/27 at Freie Universität Berlin. If you have been accepted but are not yet officially enrolled, you are also welcome to join.
