Question:
When should I arrive in Chemnitz?

Answer:

You should arrive well before the semester's teaching starts officially (around the 1 of October) but you can find the latest information here (in German) and look for o-phase because the student representative organise an orientation week which is very useful for you to find your way around the university and city.

Do I have to take a placement test in the English Department?
