Get in touch! Activities for international students

In each subject, there is an association of students called "Fachgruppe". They organize activities, take care of new students, and represent the students towards the university. Want to get to know local students? Fachgruppe is your place to go!

You can find your Fachgruppe on the homepage of your study program or the stuvus homepage.

stuvus is the official representation of the interests of students within the university. They also work as an umbrella organization supporting all other official student groups.

• Departments ("Referate") work on different themes, e.g. diversity, sustainability, or mobility.
• Working groups ("Arbeitskreise") organize e.g. a campus festival, a magazine, and gardening projects on campus.

All students are welcome to join!
