Social Program and Help for International Students
When arriving in Bonn, there is a lot of administrative work to do as well as many unanswered questions. Many students from abroad leave their home country for the first time by themselves and feel insecure and alone at first. The International Affairs Unit will support you in this as much as possible.
How does it feel to study at the agricultural faculty as an international student - here some impressions from four international students?

Administrative support
Enrollment at the University of Bonn (Zoom session in August) and circular mail on the procedure

For the allocation of dormitory places, please send an email to international@lwf.uni-bonn.de (registration with the Studierendenwerk does not go through us and you are more likely to get a place in a dormitory through us)

Other matters (visas, letters of support, etc.)
The International Office der Uni Bonnhas compiled detailed information on preparing for your stay. There you will also find information on visas, health insurance, enrollment, accommodation and German courses.
For the Faculty of Agriculture, we have compiled a small Study Guide with specific information about the Poppelsdorf campus and the faculty's facilities. There you will find details about the buildings and deadlines, courses and exams, but also general information on arriving, opening a bank account, accommodation, health insurance and leisure activities.
Integration Program
Our social tutors organize small and large events for our international students and doctoral students on a regular basis. 4-6 times a year, the faculty also organizes nice events for you: Together we hike up the Drachenfels, go to the opera or have a nice Christmas party so that you can experience what German Christmas feels like. To be informed about all events, please join our "Internationals" WhatsApp group by sending an email to international-whk@lwf.uni-bonn.de.
