Buddy Program of the Faculty of Engineering
What is the Buddy Program?
Every semester, exchange students (Incomings) come to Heilbronn University and plunge into the unknown adventure of a semester abroad - with many new challenges, be it integration in a foreign country, culture or language barrier.
In order to give our international students a good start into student life, we provide them with a buddy to help them with an intercultural exchange.
The buddy is a reliable contact person and supports the incoming students with student and private matters during the semester.
Why be a buddy?
- You expand your intercultural skills
- You can improve your English skills or learn another language
- You can make new friends
- You can earn plus points for your application for a semester abroad
- After submitting a 1-page report, you will receive a certificate of the commitment made. Under certain conditions you may also receive ECTS in studium generale or as elective
What do we expect from you?
- Openness towards other people and cultures
- Fun with intercultural learning
- Support with questions about studying and living in Heilbronn
- Willingness to take time for his/her buddy
- Participation in joint events (scheduling, exam registration, get-together)
