Arriving at Coburg University

Of course, we won't leave you alone when you start your studies at Coburg University. Our International Office offers an orientation week for all international students. During these exciting days we will be at your disposal and give you insight into both our university and your new home Coburg.

International students who are new in Germany first need to settle a couple of important bureaucratic matters. The International Office will gladly help you register at the city hall of Coburg and apply for a residence permit.

During this week, the students

  • enroll at the university
  • receive access to our computer services, including wireless network
  • get information about opening a bank account
