International Office
When it comes to international activities, the International Office is the heart and soul of the University of Oldenburg. Our mission is to coordinate and manage international exchange and research partnerships, cooperation agreements around the world, as well as the development and realisation of projects with international partners.
We will be happy to advise you if you are interested in studying at the University of Oldenburg. Come and join the 1,600 international students already enrolled. We also advise students when planning to study abroad – either within Europe (Erasmus+) or worldwide.
We provide researchers and academic staff from the University of Oldenburg with support, guidance, and information throughout the process of preparing and completing a stay abroad. Equally, the International Office assists academics from around the globe who wish to work or teach at the University of Oldenburg.
