Despite the current travel restrictions, the University of Stuttgart is eagerly anticipating the arrival of numerous international students from all over the world. Due to visa problems and travel restrictions, many students were forced to begin their studies online at home. In order to offer as much support as possible to all of our students during the Corona pandemic, the International Office is offering a wide range of informative online events. To ensure that our international students also have to chance to meet their fellow students and employees from the International Office, a limited number of informative meetings will also be taking place face-to-face. Registration is possible on the pages for international students.
Online events
