# International Degree-Seeking Students

\
Welcome to our information pages for international students pursuing a degree at TU Berlin.\

Our team sees itself as a **guide** for international degree-seeking students at TU Berlin.\
\
 We

- coordinate and serve as a hub for the different services at TU Berlin for international degree-seeking students and work to represent their interests and needs.
- offer advising and other services tailored to the specific needs of our target group. Our advising service focuses in particular on\
   - visa and residence permits\
   - working as an international student\
   - living in Berlin (we do not offer an accommodation service!)\
   - dealing with new structures and teaching and learning styles at a German university\
   - cultural differences and challenges.
- issue statements regarding future studies (*Studienprognose*) for students applying to renew residence permits (regular bachelor's and master's degree programs)
- organize introductory events for international degree-seeking students at the beginning of each semester.
- offer a range of integration programs and networking events.

We further see ourselves as a **networking resource and point of contact** for the different units at TU Berlin that deal with issues relating to international degree-seeking students.

If you have any questions about application / admission / enrolment, please contact the Student Information Services directly.
