S.o.S. for international students

More success in courses and exams

Would you like more support in understanding your courses and preparing for exams? Then join the S.o.S. programme!

S.o.S. helps you improve your knowledge of German as a academic language and pass exams successfully. Together with a German-speaking language coach, you read lecture notes, practise for exams, write lab reports or study for oral exams. In the process, you will not only train the German language but also establish contacts with other international and German students.

How it works

Approximately one to two weeks after the start of the semester, you will find the study groups that are offered in the respective semester in the Stud.IP event. You can choose between learning groups for specific courses, study-related groups and general language groups. Please register for the desired group.

Please register in the desired group. Each learning group consists of the language coach and 2 to 5 international students.

The matching meeting is the kick-off event for students from all faculties. Here you will get to know the members of your learning group and your language coach. Participation is compulsory for all participants of the S.o.S. programme!
