Information for Foreigners

In our booklet “Pathfinder” you will find a lot of information concerning Thuringia and the Studierendenwerk:

Do you sometimes have the feeling that university is like a hazardous jungle and often get lost? Do you sometimes find yourself walking from pillar to post just to return the pillar again? Never fear! The “PATHfinder” is here!  With this booklet designed by the Studierendenwerk Thüringen, you should not have these kinds of troubles anymore. This PATHfinder will help you to manage your daily student life, explain uncommon and unknown abbreviations, such as ASB, PSB, M18 or IC and will also provide you with interesting facts about your new home: Thuringia.

The PATHfinder is a guide which has been specially created for foreign students and their daily life. Have fun browsing through the pages!

International partnerships and international exchanges are close to our
heart. It is very important for us to get feedback from outside, because our
goal is to continuously improve our offers to foreign students.

Here you can find reports from students and colleagues, who visited and
worked with us and who could gain some experiences of our operation methods
and of our internal structures.
