Welcome to htw saar!
You've finished school, figured out what you want to study and enrolled in a degree program - and now you're ready visit your first lectures.
At the beginning of your studies, everything is very new and you’re going to have a lot of questions. What’s the htw saar like? Who do I contact if I have a problem or an idea? How can I help shape my university - the htw saar? And most importantly: Where can I get something to eat!?
To ensure that your studies begin smoothly, we have summarized important information and tips for you, our freshmen students in a Moodle course (currently only in German).
(Almost) everything you need to know about starting your first semester can be found in the video.
Please feel free to use the Q&A forum to ask any questions you might have about starting your studies.
