Buddy Program 

The International Relations Office provides a Buddy Programme for incoming international students. This program pairs them with current Heidelberg students, who offer guidance and support from the moment they arrive. These student ‘buddies’ help international newcomers with various aspects of settling in, such as finding accommodation, creating a class schedule, and discovering local recreational activities. The Buddy Programme’s ultimate goal is to foster intercultural exchanges between German and international students.
