While the multitude of new situations at a university of applied sciences can be difficult for German first-year students, they can sometimes be a real challenge for international students. Why not help each other and learn from each other?
Buddy programs at Fachhochschule Dortmund bring new international students together with local students or senior mentors in Dortmund. Local students or senior mentors then become a "buddy" for an international student who is new to Fachhochschule Dortmund.
Buddies...
- help you to find your way around Fachhochschule Dortmund and the city,
- guide you through everyday life in Dortmund and answer any questions you may have,
- introduce you to German and other local students,
- speak or practise German with you,
- invite you to participate in student life and life in Germany.
