We warmly congratulate you on your admission and invite you, family and friends to attend our festive matriculation ceremony at the Magdeburg Opera House on 6 October 2025. This day marks the beginning of your exciting journey at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg. Not only will you get to know the university, but you will also make your first contacts with your fellow students. You will become part of a community of committed students, lecturers and staff who want to rethink the world together with you from now on.

What to expect at the enrolment ceremony

We will celebrate your admission to Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg together with you in the Magdeburg Opera House, which is located between the main campus and the Zschokkestraße campus. In this festive atmosphere, you can expect, among other things, a welcome by the university administration, an insight into student life in the capital of Saxony-Anhalt or a poetry slam. Of course, the matriculation ceremony will be accompanied by music. Take the opportunity to make new friends, discover common interests and celebrate the start of your studies in a fitting manner.

Seating in the Magdeburg Opera House is limited. As an alternative, we offer you, friends and families a visit to Lecture Hall 1 on the university campus.
