What can I study at Viadrina? What exactly do the various degree programmes 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 a.m. to 2 p.m. and at the subsequent summer party. Prospective students, pupils, parents and teachers are invited to get to know the international campus and the degree programmes on offer, talk to students and lecturers and find out about all aspects of the degree programme. The Open Day is also an opportunity to find out about the reformed range of courses and seven new degree programmes starting in October 2026.
Programme at the Open Day
At numerous information stands on the university campus in front of the Auditorium Maximum, Logenstraße 2-4, there will be people on hand to answer many questions - from the range of courses on offer, student finance and accommodation to foreign language training and where to study.
