Welcome freshmen at the Faculty of Physics and Earth Sciences. We are the Elferrat Physik und Geowissenschaften e.V. and we will ensure that, next to the hard everyday university life, fun will not come off badly during the next few weeks.
The highlight of this semester is – of course – the Physikfasching on January 10th, 2025 located at Werk 2. But for now we have created a series of freshmen events for you. During each event you can collect freshmen cards. Just speak to a different member of our Elferrat at each event. If you have collected 5 cards you can get a free mulled wine and if you have 6 you can even get a free ticket to our Physikfasching.
The events of the Elferrat are stylized in orange and those from the student representatives (short FSR or FaRaPhy) in dark blue.
This is what we planned for you the next weeks:

Handcart tour:

Using our handcart filled with beverages we take you to the most important spots for your studies in Leipzig. During this tour you can meet up with your fellow students or ask us anything you want to know. It’s a great opportunity.
On the 25th of September at 3 p.m. we will be waiting for you to join us at the main entrance of the Physics faculty.
Afterwards the FaRaPhy invites you to their barbecue.

Preparation Course Meeting:

After the handcart tour, at around 5 pm, you will get to know your future lecturers and fellow students at the lecturers’ barbecue.

Meeting point: Inner courtyard between physics and chemistry faculty

Drinking games evening

We meet at 6 pm in the courtyard.

Come along, get to know your fellow students better and show them what you’ve got when it comes to Flunkyball, Beer Pong and Rage Cage! You can also challenge us, the Elferrat (in orange outfits) to a specially created Elferrat drinking game.

Of course, there are also non-alcoholic alternatives.

Coffee, cake (and beer)

After the first few lectures it’s time for a snack. With coffee, tea (and beer) and also maybe a piece of cake you can have a talk with the others and of course gain another one of the much sought-after freshman-cards of ours.
You can meet us on the 15.10.2024 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the faculty.

The trip will take place from 18. to 20.10.2024 and will go to Reibitz. You can secure a ticket to the Fresher’s Trip by visiting our other events, go to our ticket sales outside of your lecture halls (dates will follow), or talk to the FaRaPhy, your student representatives.
