We offer many student jobs. These jobs are usually offered (once the students have studied here for a few months) in the areas of tutorials and research assistant work.

The international office of the university also has contacts to companies that are willing to employ international students.

Please keep in mind that finding a student job is much easier if you speak some German.

The student union (Studentenwerk) owns and runs several different student accommodation buildings around the city. Although student rooms in Germany are typically rented unfurnished, the "Studentenwerk" also provides furnished rooms for international students at affordable rates. They also help with finding private accommodation for international students.

There are also several ways to find private accommodation including:

• local newspapers, e.g. the NWZ
• Websites like www.wg-gesucht.de, where apartment listings can be narrowed down by desired criteria, such as number of flatmates or facilities available
• The "Schwarzes Brett" (notice board) on Stud.IP and several boards in the student canteen / "Mensa" building on campus (if you are still looking once you arrive in Oldenburg)

• Individual study and career counselling by the programme coordinator
• Study and Career Counselling Service of the university
• Career Day of the university

The international office and the study and career counselling services of the university offer many events and support for international students. 

• Welcome event
• Buddy programme
• Tutors
• Accompanying programme
• Specialist counselling
• Cultural and linguistic preparation

"Oldenburg is a modern and growing city with a tremendous quality of life and more than 170,000 inhabitants. Irrespective of whether you want to enjoy Oldenburg as a tourist, come as a student or plan to live and work in our beautiful city – you are always welcome!

We invest in new housing, more places in daycare centres and, of course, in a necessary infrastructure with streets, educational institutions or the prerequisites for the digital future. All the above-mentioned points are important conditions for participation in events and life in our city.

For many years, these topics have been the focus of my work, and successes are visible in many places. At the moment, numerous flats and houses are built in all districts of Oldenburg. Since 2014, we have invested more than 130 million EUR in care facilities. Other objectives of our work are a good cultural and educational offer as well as a strong commitment to climate protection.

Oldenburg offers an abundance of leisure activities as well as support for education and integration. With the Carl von Ossietzky University, the Jade University of Applied Sciences, the Private University of Applied Sciences for Business and Engineering as well as more than 70 schools of general education, vocational colleges, technical colleges and private schools, we are the region's centre of education. Our thriving economy also offers excellent prospects to companies.

These are just some examples of a successful and positive urban development which makes Oldenburg such a lively and attractive city. Convince yourself – Oldenburg is always worth a visit!"
