Centre for Student Refugees Berlin
Initial counseling and orientation for refugee students or prospective refugee students who were affected by the war in Ukraine.
Our mission
We offer refugee students and prospective refugee students - in short: those affected by the war in Ukraine - 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 office hour every Thursday between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. The office hour on 14th of September is not taking place.
To avoid long waiting times, please make an appointment. If you cannot make it during our office hours, we are happy to offer counselling outside of it.
Personal counsellings as well as video counsellings via Cisco-Webex on appointment are also possible.
