To ensure a good start, the University of Stuttgart supports new international students with an extensive orientation program. In order to enable all interested international students to participate in the orientation program, both on site and online information events are offered. The orientation program provides the new international students an insight into life and studying in Stuttgart and supports them in completing the necessary formalities. In addition, it is possible to get to know the fellow students and the advisors of the International Office.

Students participating in an exchange program (Erasmus or from overseas) are contacted directly and invited to additional events.
