Buddy Programme Launch for Angewandte students

Posted on by paul.kogan

Starting at a new university might sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when you’re arriving from another country… We, at the Angewandte Student Union (HUFAK)’s International Students and Anti-Racism Department, know that it is not easy to find your way through new systems, cultures, and expectations all at once, and that’s exactly why we are now launching a new Buddy Programme for the Angewandte students.

All new incoming students are welcome! Students with refugee status or who are still seeking asylum shall be granted priority*
