We are thrilled to extend a warm and enthusiastic welcome to you as a new member of our Applied Linguistics degree program here at the University of Bonn. Your journey to academic excellence and personal growth begins here, and we are excited to have you on board! To kickstart your journey and help you connect with fellow students and faculty, we have organized a special welcome event on Monday, October 9th at 12 pm. This event is designed for you to meet your peers, ask questions, and learn about our campus and discover Bonn with us in a little city tour. A relaxed lunch at 2 pm is the perfect opportunity to meet not only your fellow Master's degree students but also students from higher years who can share their experiences and insights with you. If you have any questions until then, contact us mentors at mentor-appliedlinguistics[at]uni-bonn.de

Each term, we organise a Research Day for the PhD students and post-doctoral students at BAEL. The purpose of this meeting is for everyone to present their ongoing work, regardless of the stage they are at in their research projects. The setting is less formal than at a conference and offers an opportunity for in-depth discussions of the individual projects.
