Information for International Buddys

The Buddy-Programme

For international exchange students, the OTH Regensburg International Office offers a Buddy-Programme. Every incoming student will get support from an OTH-Buddy during the semester. It is a very good way to get in touch with Germans and to learn about the German way of life right from the beginning of your stay. An OTH-Buddy will help you manage your fist days in Germany and can show you around Regensburg. You as an International Buddy can ask your OTH-Buddy for help with anything.

 Registration:

Exchange students have to register for the Buddy-Programme. You have to register in January for the summer semester or in July for the winter semester. In January or July you will receive an email with a link to the Buddy Tool registration platform. You fill in your personal data, like your hobbies, your interests and your field of study. With these entries the Tool automatically finds the perfect OTH-Buddy for you. Shortly before you arrive in Regensburg, we inform you about your OTH-Buddy. Then it is up to both of you to get in touch with each other.
