Dear new Marepol students,


Thank you for choosing to study in the Master's Program Religion, Ethics, and Politics! We would like to welcome you to the TU Dortmund University for the summer semester 2025! Traditionally, in the first weeks of the semester, the faculty and the student council organize an orientation week for the new students.

8 April, 11.45 a.m. Faculty welcome event for new Marepol students. The dean, the vice dean, the dean of studies, the directors of the institutes and the lecturers of the Marepol courses in the winter semester would like to introduce themselves and get to know you. The event takes place in room 0.436 in Emil-Figge 50. Please find more information here.

8 April, 12.15 p.m. After the welcome event, the Student Council will meet the new students and inform them about the timetable, LSF, BOSS, etc. There will also be a campus tour and we are looking for a date for a pub night. You are cordially invited!

If you would like to get in touch with other students beforehand, you can join the Whatsapp group for new students. Just send an email with your mobile number to the Student Council email address.

Under Documents and Guides you can already find a sample schedule for the summer semester and other helpful documents like the study plan, which gives a good overview of the MaREPol courses, and a guide on how to use the course registration portal LSF! Please find a detailed description of course selection in our FAQ.
