International Office
Welcome to the International Office!
The International Office mourns the loss of Boris Pohl, who passed away on 18 October 2024.
He was responsible for advising and supporting international students, and he also organised events and field trips, as well as the International Orientation Week. One of his favourite projects was the development and implementation of the Intercultural Meeting Place, which is still influenced by his ideas today. He was an excellent networker, always open to new people from all over the world.
His commitment and helpful and friendly nature were his hallmarks. Boris, we miss you!
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 1,500 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.
