Queer Orientation (QO) is an annual series of LGBTQ2S-focused programming across all three campuses of U of T during the last week of September. QO is an opportunity for new and returning students, staff, faculty and librarians to make connections, engage in activities and have discussions related to LGBTQ2S+ communities.
This year, Queer Orientation runs from September 20–24, 2021, and features game nights, drag make-up tutorials, informational sessions, ice skating, escape rooms and more! Be sure to read the full schedule because there is definitely something for everyone. #UofTQO

- a full Master’s degree at a German University, or
- to complete course work at a German University towards your Master’s degree at U of T
