Living in Tübingen

To help ease your arrival in Tübingen and to navigate you through possible initial difficulties, we assembled a question and answer catalogue with recommendations on events and resources available to assist you with your fresh start in Tübingen.

• How do I apply for university? Where can I live? Which deadlines are important to adhere?

All practical information about study and student life in Tübingen you find on the website of the International Office.

Here you can find site maps and an address list of all professors who are teaching at the Faculty of Humanities.

• New in Town? The Advisory Course helps you to get all the information you need.

• Who offers assistance in personal matters? How do I find a mentor? And how do I get in contact with German peers?
  • The student initiative StudIT (“Studierenden-Initiative Internationales Tübingen”) helps with all sorts of questions and problems and encourages intercultural encounters. The group organizes a variety of activities and excursions and offers a mentorship program for international students.
