On October 15, 2025, Theater Hof, the two universities in Hof, the city of Hof and Stadtmarketing Hof e. V. cordially invite all first-year students to the Welcome Party. Together we will celebrate the start of your studies – in the middle of the city, with many opportunities to get to know each other, exchange ideas and arrive.
In the special ambience of the theater, you will meet students from all disciplines, lecturers and partners from the city and campus. A varied program lets you discover Hof, your university and important offers for study and leisure in a relaxed way – from short greetings and info sessions to relaxed networking zones and creative photo spots for your first memories of your time at university.
Musical highlight: “Ravers Nature” will play for you. Whether it’s a relaxed arrival, nice conversations or a joint party – the soundtrack is just right. Snacks and drinks are provided by local restaurants so that you can concentrate on partying without the stress of planning.
There is a free shuttle service between the campus and the theater to make it easy for you to get there. The buses run at regular intervals before the program starts and will bring you back safely after the event. You can find departure times and bus stops in good time on your university’s intranet.
