For International Exchange Students























Feedback from former exchange students

    "The courses in Göttingen really promote critical thinking, which develops your own policy making skills –something that sharpens your approach to the problem and the subject. On a personal level, I felt like the walks around the city are absolutely beautiful! There are some parts that have a good scenic beauty and are really refreshing and this is something, that is very warm and welcoming about the city. It has its charm on its own."

    "The thing I like most is that we have a strong community of international students over here. In the beginning, everyone is thrown into deep water and they know nothing about each other. And you just connect somehow and then you stay together, you meet each other almost every day."

    "Göttingen is actually a really nice city – it's not too big, not too small. And there are a lot of students, so you really feel like it's a nice place to do an exchange semester."
