Tübingen University offers a special buddy program for students who have fled Ukraine. Students from Tübingen are brought into contact with students from Ukraine. The goal is to offer initial support for students who have fled. The Tübingen buddies usually have suitable foreign language skills. The initial support provided by the Tübingen Buddy includes pick-up at the arrival point in Tübingen, accompaniment to the accommodation as well as orientation and support with the first steps in Tübingen: e.g. vaccination, German SIM card, orientation in the city and at the university. If necessary, counseling services are arranged, e.g. for health, psychological and legal problems. In case of language barriers, accompaniment during visits to authorities or doctors is possible.

Interested students for this buddy program please contact Manuel Hengge (Section IV) for further information and registration.

Students from Ukraine enrolled at the University can register in the regular courses of the Department of German as a Foreign Language.
