Some useful information for studying abroad
Here you will find some practical information for your study.
Important information for your studies
Please note that your studies will take place at the Artland Campus in Quakenbrück. Therefore, please look for an accommodation in Quakenbrück and nearby. Bigger cities for living that can be reached more easily via Nordwestbahn (train) from Quakenbrück are Osnabrück and Oldenburg. Living even farer away is not recommended.
For contact data of potential landlords and accommodation please see our Welcome File at the above topic "Some useful information for studying abroad".
As an international student you have to apply for a visa in the German embassy of your home country. Please note that for studying in Germany you have to prove that your livelihood is secured for the duration of your studies. You can prove this in the form of a blocked account (in principle at least EUR 11,904 per year or EUR 992 per month, https://www.studying-in-germany.org/germany-blocked-account-foreign-students/), a scholarship (e.g. from DAAD) or a declaration of commitment. For more information please see the information of the German Ausländerbehörde https://www.make-it-in-germany.com/en/visa-residence/types/studying.
As soon as you have your visa please remind to extend your visa as soon as possible here in Germany. Therefore, as a first step you will have to register in the city center of your residence city, e.g. in Quakenbrück (if you are living in another city e.g. Osnabrück or Oldenburg, you have to register there). For this, you will need a “Wohnungsgeberbescheinigung” which your landlord has to sign.
After that, you can extend your visa at the Ausländerbehörde at Landkreis Osnabrück (or others depending on your residence city).
For immigrants from third countries please consider the regulations of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees: https://www.bamf.de/EN/Themen/MigrationAufenthalt/ZuwandererDrittstaaten/zuwandererdrittstaaten-node.html
Refugees should also note that the monetary support from the government (basic support from the job center) ceases when you enroll as a student! We therefore recommend that you apply for a DAAD scholarship.
Possible scholarships and information about them you can find here: www.daad.de/en/study-and-research-in-germany/scholarships/
Please note that living and studying in Germany might be more expensive than in your origin country. In general, it can be estimated that you might need roughly EUR 800 per month for living in Germany. Detailed information of your living costs in Germany can be found here: www.daad.de/en/study-and-research-in-germany/plan-your-studies/costs-of-education-and-living/
Overview of living costs in Quakenbrück:
- Accomodation (a room e.g. in a shared apartment) 300- 400 Euros
- Health insurance 120 Euros
- Living expenses (e.g. food) 250 Euros
