Meet the International Office and Student Life team!

Get to know the organisers of Welcome Week – the team helping out with German bureaucracy, language courses, counselling, student events, study abroad and more during your studies.

As we gear up to say “Herzlich Willkommen!” to more than 350 new MPP, MIA, MDS, semester exchange and dual degree students, as well as returning second years, we’d like to introduce to you the team responsible not only for this year’s Welcome Week, but for all matters related to community and support during your time at the Hertie School.

Whether you have questions about study abroad opportunities, need help navigating German bureaucracy or are looking for mental health resources, here’s a practical guide on whom to contact, and for what:
