Centre for Student Refugees Berlin

Initial counseling and orientation for refugee students or prospective refugee students.

Our mission

We offer refugee students and prospective refugee students - in short: those affected by the Ukraine War - initial advice on taking up studies as well as orientation for successful studies in Berlin. We collect relevant information and prepare it clearly.

The Centre for Student Refugees Berlin is available under the telephone number 030 93939-8425 as well as under the following e-mail: studentrefugees@stw.berlin. In addition to that we offer an open office hour every Thursday between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Personal counsellings as well as video counsellings via Cisco-Webex on appointment are also possible.
