The Buddy Program is aimed at international newly enrolled students. It provides an opportunity to connect with students from Berlin and receive peer-to-peer support for a successful start to university life.
Who can participate?
Students from our partner universities in Berlin share their experiences with international prospective students and first-semester students from around the world. Everyone benefits from cultural exchange and mutual support.
What am I signing up for?
Get-together events, sharing experiences about organizing studies, and building new connections.
What should I bring?
Motivation, openness, and a willingness to communicate, whether that’s asking questions or answering them.
How does it work?
We organize a welcome event where participants can meet and exchange contact information. This event is held in English. After that, we offer additional events and excursions where participants can learn more about studying in Germany and Berlin.
Currently, we also run the regular event "Language Café: Let’s Speak German" a recurring activity as part of the Buddy Program. You’re warmly invited to join! It takes place every other week.
