Information for prospective students from Ukraine
Students from Ukraine find support through our RCCR (Research and Counselling Centre for Refugees) in the Central Student Counselling Service (ZSB). Our colleague Daniel Müller advises foreign and refugee prospective students on all relevant topics - from application questions and study opportunities to assistance during their studies. In addition to the Welcome-Programme, which we have had at the university since 2015, we offer our international and refugee prospective students and students study preparation courses through the DAAD third-party funded project Integra, which is based at the ZSB. These include language courses in cooperation with the Community College in Emden (VHS), preparatory courses (Propädeutikum) at the University of Applied Sciences in the Faculty of Technology and various workshops such as job application training or an intercultural workshop*. From April, the exchange café* will once again take place in the Lüttje Stuudi Huus. Here, all students and prospective students are cordially invited to network and exchange ideas. The full range of offers can be found below.
Prospective students and students from Ukraine thus have an important contact point at the university for advice and support. Daniel Müller is the first and important point of contact for those seeking advice. The RCCR has also built up a good local network since 2015, so that the exchange and referral of those seeking advice in special problem situations can be ensured. The network partners include community colleges, migration counselling centres, the job centre and the employment agency. Another important cooperation partner is the educational counselling service of the Garantiefond Hochschule (Otto-Beneke-Foundation), which deals with the awarding of scholarships and possibilities of support measures for targeted preparation of studies in a specific field.
