Buddy scheme for international students
In addition, the Buddy scheme for international students supports you - as an international student - to become culturally, linguistically and academically integrated into the new country and city. Students from the University of Passau voluntarily assist you in settling in a foreign city and help you with any questions that arise when you arrive at a new university.
