New country, new city, new language, new university ... The beginning is exciting, but not always easy. That's why we have an orientation week for international students. Here, Fulda students welcome you and are available as tutors to answer all your questions about the start of your studies: they go with you to the Foreigners' Registration Office and the Citizens' Registration Office or help you with enrolment and opening an account.
To help you get to know Fulda and the university, there is an attractive social programme. Whether it's a guided tour of the city, lunch together or a visit to a pub - we have many activities planned.
The orientation week is concluded by the weekend excursion to the Rhön mountains.
We look forward to welcoming you to Fulda!
