Akademische Auslandsämter (Offices for International Affairs)
Each university has an Akademisches Auslandsamt, which is in charge of all students who want to study abroad as well as foreign students who wish to study at that university. Here you can get an answer to all your questions related to admissions, visas and work permits if you have to take up a part-time job to finance your studies in Germany. Staff will also assist you in emgergency situations, in legal matters and inform you about scholarships. The office also organises introductory courses and "Stammtische", weekly informal discussion groups, to help newcomers to get in contact with other students.
