Buddy-Program

The start in a new country, a new city and a new culture is not always easy. To help you through your first days in Wuppertal, the International Students Team offers you a buddy programme.
Your buddy supports you during your stay in Wuppertal when having to deal with administrative matters, bureaucratic procedures and the allday life at the university. The programm offers the great opportunity for cultural exchange, establishing first contacts and improving your language skills.

Who can participate?

All the international students coming to study at the Bergische Universität Wuppertal, regardless of their nationality or studies.

Who might be interested in it?

  • Those interested in getting to know the local culture and sharing experiences with local and international students.
  • Those who want firsthand information of what is the Bergische Universität Wuppertal like and how it works.
  • Those interested in getting to know people from other cultural backgrounds.
  • And last but not least … all those who are a bit scared of the firsts days abroad. Let’s face it, it’s not always easy! Having someone who you can trust can be a good help!
