What we offer to our international students (and future students)Programmes and projects at THGA

We are here to listen and help

At THGA we have a team, made up of the staff at International Office and advisors of the different programmes, which aims at supporting people from all over the world to have a successful start in their career. This team helps them completing their study programmes and obtaining their degrees as well as joining the non-academic world of work. Our international students have come to Bochum on many different ways and thus have different backgrounds, talents and needs for advice. So we are here to help: a whole team of advisors and several programmes which students can make use of to plan their professional and personal future.

Programme AufSTEIGER Prospects

In 2016 THGA launched a programme specifically designed to help people with a refugee background. Language courses as well as pre-study courses and measures accompanying the study programme show the university's commitment in opening new prospects for these people.

Managing Integration

Our team of integration management is there to support international students and employees, shape cultural change, and promote diversity and plurality of world views. By doing so, we help people to integrate and be integrated at the university and in society while providing a hub of communication and networking, too. These are our top priorities.
