Consulting and Assistance

The International Office is responsible for all international matters of Bingen UAS and the first point of contact for our partner universities and foreign exchange students as well as staff interested in an Erasmus+ staff mobility.

We would like to support all international students so that you can successfully master your studies and feel right at home here at Bingen Technical University of Applied Sciences. To do so, we offer a wide range of support services to incoming students. If you have any individual questions, please contact us. If we cannot help you ourselves, we will be happy to put you in touch with the right person: incoming[at]th-bingen.de.

Events for exchange students

We offer a number of events designed for this purpose, and would be happy if you took advantage of these opportunities!

Orientation week

At the beginning of each semester, the International Office organizes an orientation week for exchange students who study at the Bingen UAS for one or two semesters as part of the ERASMUS+, CDHAW, IGCHE and mdihk programs, or as freemovers. During this week we guide the students in their first steps at the university, in Bingen and in the region.

The orientation week is a mandatory event and its program will be sent by email.

International lunch break

The International Lunch Break takes place several times a semester in the AStA-Spaces. For these meetings, international students prepare typical recipes from their home countries and thus introduce their homeland along with typical dishes.

A genuine culinary change and a great opportunity to get in touch with international or internationally interested fellow students.

It’s definitely worth a drop-by!

International Get-Together

The International Get-Togethers are designed as networking events. Here you have the opportunity to meet new people and participate in intercultural exchange. The entire THB student community is invited to this event.

Weather permitting, we invite Bingen UAS’ students (German and international) to the beautiful park at the Mäuseturm. There we enjoy a picnic with a view of the beautiful Rhine and the green vineyards and spend the afternoon playing games and chatting. If it’s freezing outside, we prefer the AStA-Spaces – of course without giving up fun, good food, music and intercultural exchange.

Our goal is to promote exchange and networking in the THB student community, as well as to let you get to know the world from a different perspective.

German language classes

Upon availability, the International Office of Bingen UAS regularly organizes German language classes for its international exchange students in cooperation with the adult education center (Volkshochschule Bingen). Language proficiency is of fundamental importance for the success of your studies. The acquisition of such language proficiency does not end with the passing of the DSH or TestDaF exam. On the contrary, it should be continued throughout your studies. The better your knowledge of German, the easier it will be for you to study.

The courses offered are exclusively for enrolled international exchange students of the TH Bingen and are free of charge for them. No German courses are currently offered for degree-seeking international students, who are not enrolled in a double degree program.

Please note: Bingen UAS does not offer DSH preparation courses or exams for applicants!

Bingen is an ideal place for students to live. The cost of renting a flat is moderate, and the quality of life in this lovely city on the Rhine is high. We would be happy to assist you if you are in need of accommodations, and will send you information as soon as we receive your application.
