In 2010 the University of Oldenburg joined the “National Code of Conduct on Foreign Students at German Universities”. In adopting this code the university reaffirms its sustained interest in attracting and hosting qualified international students, doctoral candidates and (young) scientists and researchers. The Code of Conduct aims to establish a set of common minimum standards in the fields of information and marketing, admissions, supervision, support and advice, plus follow-up services, on which international students can rely.
