To support you during your stay in Tübingen we have set up a Buddy Program in which a student of the University of Tübingen teams up with an incoming international student.
Our program aims to initiate a cultural and personal exchange between new international students and experienced students of Tübingen, to expand one’s own cultural horizon, as well as the strengthening of intercultural skills and competences.
The Buddy Program for degree-seeking students not only matches you with a personal buddy, the semester-long program with joint excursions also allows you to get to know Tübingen student life first-hand and make new friends.
The degree-seeking Buddy Program was set up for newly arrived international students who are seeking a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Tübingen.
Please do not confound this buddy program with other buddy programs of the University of Tübingen. An overview of buddy programs for international students can be found here.
Summer semester 2025: 15.01.2025 - 15.03.2025
As an incoming international student please register for the Buddy Program via this form:

We will try to assign an international student to everyone who registers for the Get-a-Buddy Program, but we cannot guarantee it, unfortunately.
If you have any additional questions about our Buddy Program, don't hesitate to contact us by e-mail degree.buddyspam prevention@zv.uni-tuebingen.de or just come by to our (open) office hours for general information about the program.
The semester-long program for the summer semester 2025 is expected to be published as a moodle course at the end of March. After you have been admitted to the course, you will receive detailed information on the individual program points.
Highlights of last summer semester's program: A trip to the World Heritage Monestary Maulbronn, a trip into the deep cave Laichingen, a city trip to Heidelberg, a Bonfire, as well as day hikes in the region.
The Buddy Program for degree-seeking students not only matches you with a personal buddy, the semester-long program with joint excursions also allows you to get to know Tübingen student life first-hand and make new friends.
According to the motto "exchange, explore,exercise" you have the opportunity to get to know different sports every week, to exchange ideas with other students and to become active together in the group. Whether alone or together with your buddy from the buddy program - every week a new sports program of the University Sports Center awaits you.
End of registration: t.b.a. (Registration link will be provided by our Buddy Program Team in moodle)
