Join us at the OUpener to kick off the new academic year!

The University of Ostrava invites you to the OUpener - the official start of the academic year, including the matriculation of first-year students, all taking place on 25 September at the modern OU City Campus. The event starts at 2:30 PM with the matriculation of first-year students in bachelor's and master's programs.

Important information for first-year students of bachelor's and master's degree programmes. The Rector's leave from 2 PM on this day is just for you, so you don't have to worry about missing matriculation!

If you're already studying at Ostrava University, don't worry! Come and meet your classmates before the wave of schoolwork begins. To recognize your friends and colleagues from your faculty, wear a piece of clothing or an accessory in your faculty's color!

Music, fun and AFTERPARTY

You won't be bored, there will be a packed line-up. You can see well-known Czech stars on stage singing just for you! We have also thought of those for whom every party starts at 10 PM, so we have prepared an afterparty in cooperation with Red Bull, which will take place at the Marley Club.

Your opportunities at the University of Ostrava

You will have the chance to meet all our student organizations, learn how to get involved in activities that interest you, find out more about playing sports at the new OU City Campus, and even try out the sports facilities for free.

University staff will also be ready to answer any questions you have. For example, the Centre for International Cooperation can provide you with information about opportunities abroad for students. You can purchase university merchandise on-site at the OUshop stand, and the University Library will show you its activities – it is not really just about lending books. Ready to answer your questions will also be the Counselling and Career Centre and the Pyramida Centre, which supports students with special needs.

Of course, good food and drinks will be provided on-site too! Stop by the booths of our partner restaurants and bistros, or for more goodies, visit the Kaufland booth.

So don't hesitate to come and celebrate the start of the new academic year with us at OUpener. We look forward to seeing you there!
