Join the Buddy Programme!

The success of studying in a foreign country is largely dependent on how well one can adapt and integrate into a new environment. To help incoming exchange students achieve this as quickly as possible, the Department of Languages ​​/ International Affairs has set up a Buddy Programme.

The Buddy Programme is a project with the purpose of welcoming, integrating and helping all the international students during their stay in Remagen. The idea of ​​the Buddy Programme is to match international exchange students coming to Remagen with local students of RheinAhrCampus.

• Application usually opens after the end of the exam period each semester. You can also find information on our Facebook and Instagram pages.
• You can apply through the link here where you should provide required details.
• You will get a survey where we ask you about your preferences (for example, which country do you prefer your international student to be from). You will get his / her contact details from the Department of Languages ​​/ International Affairs.
• You should send an email to your international student and inform him / her that you are going to be his / her Buddy for the upcoming semester.
• Time to welcome the internationals in Germany! Try to be at the train station in Remagen to greet them.
• Meet your buddy! You can meet each other face-to-face, via Zoom or through phone call. Furthermore, the Department of Languages ​​/ International Affairs will organize various activities where you can participate with your new friend.
• At the end you might have created an international friendship, which will hopefully last forever!
