General Information
Starting university can raise many questions. Feel free to reach out to us and we'll help you bring some order to the chaos of a new chapter in life. You can simply send us an email or visit us in our office (Room H508) on Campus 2.
In the week before the start of lectures each summer and winter semester, general orientation events are held for all first-year students. For computer science students, three events are particularly recommended:
- An introductory event for the subject of Computer Science (as part of the orientation days) – Prof. Dr. Diehl
- Preparatory course "Formal Foundations of Computer Science" – Jun.-Prof. Dr. Kindermann & Jun.-Prof. Dr. Staub (Summer) or Prof. Dr. Fernau (Winter)
- Campus tour & welcome – FSR Computer Science (held directly after the introductory event for Computer Science)
As your student representative council, we are here for you throughout your studies. If you have any questions or problems, don't hesitate to come to us. We also have past exam papers that we can make available to you. And to make sure your time at university isn't all studying and stress, we organize several events each semester, such as a city rally, a pub crawl, or a LAN party.
In the past, the computers in the PC pools at the University of Trier ran on Linux. As a result, the FSR put together a Linux crash course. Since the computers have now been switched to Windows, this crash course is no longer offered — however, we are still making the course materials available to anyone interested.
