Open day and summer party on 10 June
What can I study at the Viadrina? What exactly do the various study courses deal with? And what does campus life feel like for students? The European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder) will provide answers to these questions at the Open Day on Wednesday, 10 June 2026, from 10 am to 2 pm, followed by a summer party. Prospective students, pupils, parents and teachers are invited to explore the international campus and the degree programmes, talk to students and lecturers and find out about all aspects of the degree programmes. The open day is also an opportunity to find out about the reformed range of courses and seven new study courses starting in October 2026.
