A warm welcome to Duisburg and Essen!
We are happy to welcome you at the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE)! Our university is known for its international outlook, open approach, and support of global knowledge exchange - we are excited that you will be joining our community and hope to help you feel at home during your stay.
Prior to your arrival you might have many professional, financial, and organisational questions about your visit. To help you prepare and to give you a reference while you are in Germany we recommend you to read our brochure "Information for Visiting Foreign Scholars". This brochure includes answers to "Frequently Asked Questions" e.g. concerning visa, insurance, and the Ruhr area. Although probably not everything in this brochure is personally relevant, we hope you can think of this brochure like you think of a large telephone book: You may never need all of it, but it's nice to have it handy, just in case.
What should you do if you have other questions? We would recommend you to contact first the institute's supervisor and your colleagues, since they can provide first-hand experience and tips. And for questions that they are unable to answer, please feel free to contact us at the International Office!
