Welcome as our student!

As a new student there are a few practical tasks you have to do before focusing on your studies. The most important is to pay the semester fee and register in StudentWeb. You have to do this every semester to keep your student rights. Under, you will find the list of your duties and also some practical information.

1. Make a password
