Latest Information International Office: Covid-19 outbreak

Dear Sir or Madam,

to maintain a safe environment for every member of the FHWS, face-to-face consulting will not be available unless absolutely necessary. Nevertheless we will still be available to help and consult you whenever you have questions regarding the internationalization of the FHWS:

1. Consulting services will be offered via email or telephone. Here you can find more information how to contact the team.

2. Individual personal appointments will only be possible in urgent cases and upon prior notice. Please make an appointment by email or telephone.

3. Observe the general hygiene measures during your appointment. Also keep an adequate social distance.

Additionally we prepared FAQs for different target groups (Outgoing Exchange Students for the wintersemester 2020/21, Incoming Full-Time Students and Incoming Exchange Students). For all international students who are already enroled at the FHWS we also prepared further information about studying in times of Covid-19.

Best regards and stay safe,

Your International Office Team

Welcome to FHWS International!

Internationalisation is one of the most important considerations at our university in Germany. For over 30 years now, FHWS has welcomed international students from more than 80 countries. Today, we cooperate with over 170 partner universities worldwide.

Great emphasis is therefore placed on supporting international students. This begins when you commence your studies at FHWS: we offer an orientation programme before the start of each semester to help students find their bearings at the university and in Germany. Cultural training, events, and excursions are also offered throughout the semester.

Please explore this website for details of the different study options at FHWS. You are able to complete an entire degree in German or English, for example, or to spend one to two semesters here as an exchange student.

Are you already a student at FHWS and interested in an international exchange programme? We have compiled all important information for you and can gladly advise on this particularly exciting time in your life.

We offer lecturers and university staff of FHWS information on the different options and opportunities abroad, and are of course also on hand to answer any questions.
