Buddy Programme

In the Buddy Programme you have the opportunity to get to know students from all over the world and in the most varied academical pathways. Yet, for administrative reasons we organize our international students in two groups: exchange and degree-seeking. Here is what you should know:

Please note:

• When filling out the form: When it comes to the availability, let us know at what date you can be in Erfurt to pick up your international student and give them some support. Please be as specific as possible about the date, so that we can match you to a student that will arrive by the time you are in Erfurt.
• Assignment: If you’re available in September you will most likely be matched with your international student at the end of August, otherwise it can be much later (mid/late September or beginning of October). This is because the registration procedure for international students takes longer than for regular students.
• Response: It is important for us and the international students to know whether you approve of the matching (and maybe are already in touch with the student); otherwise, we might need to reassign them, so that everybody gets a Buddy.
