Get a Smooth Start with StET 

The Orientation Days (StET) offer you the perfect start to your studies at the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy (PAF) Jena. Take this opportunity to get to know key contact points and support services, connect with your fellow students, and familiarise yourself with the PAF. This way, you will lay a solid foundation for a motivated and successful beginning to your studies.
