The "getting to know you" day, which is the "right way in".The "Foundation for University Admission" (hochschulstart), which was set up by the law faculty’s admissions team, is intended to provide prospective students with specific information about Bielefeld as a place to study – especially if they have received several offers of admission and are still in the process of deciding on a specific place to study.
