The University of Münster is pleased to host 141 students from abroad

The University of Münster has extended a warm welcome to 141 international students for its summer semester, marking a significant moment in the institution’s ongoing commitment to fostering a global academic community[^1]. The cohort includes a diverse group of individuals from various countries, with a notable number participating in the European Union’s Erasmus exchange program[^1].

Upon their arrival, 92 of these students have engaged in the “Welcome Week,” an orientation program that commenced on March 18th. This initiative is designed to provide vital information about academic pursuits and daily life in Münster, ensuring a smooth transition for the newcomers[^1]. The International Office at the University of Münster plays a pivotal role in this process, offering guidance and support to the international students[^1].

In addition to those attending for a semester or two, 35 international students are embarking on full degree programs, including Bachelor’s, Master’s, or state examination studies at Münster University[^1]. To prepare for their studies and acclimate to the linguistic demands, most of these students are participating in an intensive language course at the Language Centre prior to the start of lectures in April[^1].

The “Buddy Programme” is another integral part of the university’s efforts to integrate international students into the campus community. Through this program, over 200 Münster students volunteer to assist their international peers, helping them familiarize themselves with the university and the city[^1]. This peer support system is invaluable for students hailing from countries as varied as Turkey, Italy, Japan, Chile, Australia, and South Korea[^1].

For those seeking further information, resources such as the International Office and ERASMUS Münster e.V. offer detailed insights into the opportunities and services available to international students at the University of Münster[^1]. These platforms serve as a testament to the university’s dedication to internationalization and cultural exchange within its educational framework[^1].
