Register for the Buddy or Mentoring Program
The International Office at the University of Stuttgart offers two peer support programs: the Buddy Program and the Intercultural Mentoring Program. Both programs are very popular, so the number of applications may exceed the number of spots available. We kindly ask for your understanding that there is no guarantee that every student can join.
The programs are not mandatory.
