Assistance in opening a bank account

During your stay you will have to make various transfers and payments (e.g. rent, insurance). Bank transfers from your bank account from your home country to Germany can be expensive, so we recommend you to check your bank’s terms and conditions in your home country before you leave. It may be advantageous for you to open a german bank account for the duration of your stay.

As a rule, a german bank account for students is free of charge.

If you need a German account, please contact us. We will be happy to help you with your application.

German language course

Exchange students can take a free German course during the semester (both winter and summer semester). The course is offered by the Ruhr University. After a successful participation, students receive a certificate with a grade and credit points from the Ruhr University.

During the Welcome Week, students have the opportunity to get to know each other and Bochum University of Applied Sciences. In addition, we help you with important organizational matters.

The Welcome Week in winter semester 2023/24 will take place between 18.-22.09.2023.
