Buddy Program

 

 

You have had experience abroad yourself

and know what it's like to arrive at a foreign university? Or are you simply interested in making international contacts?

Then get involved as a buddy and help our international students start their studies at RPTU in Landau!

For you, this means being the contact person and accompanying the arrival and start of your international buddy's studies, i.e:

  • Contact before arrival and help with moving in,
  • Support with important organizational steps, such as registering with the city, taking out health insurance, opening a bank account, ...,
  • Participation in Welcome Weeks events, if applicable
  • inspire enthusiasm for Landau and the Palatinate

 

What you need to bring:

  • Desire for new people and other cultures
  • Conscientiousness and reliability, especially with regard to administrative - and for the international buddy essential - tasks
  • Availability 2 weeks before the start of lectures

 

You will be optimally prepared for this new task in advance in a Buddy Info Day.
In consultation with the departments, 1 ECTS can be awarded for the free workload.

Applications all year round using the application form to: welcomecenter-ld(at)rPTU.de

Buddy trainings take place in June/September (for the winter semester) and February (for the summer semester).
