Studienbüro Mathematik

Welcome!

Welcome to the website of the team of the International Office of the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science! We are a group of students at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science and are in charge of introducing new master and international students to our university system. On this website, we collected the most relevant information and documents for you about how to get your studies started. At the beginning of your stay, we provide you some possibilities to settle in sooner by connecting you to other students through various ways as in the following section.

What do we offer?


  • Welcoming Event: every semester we organise a Welcome Day for new students where you get to know the faculty as well as your fellow students. Unfortunately, due to the current situation we cannot meet in person. Instead we prepared an Introduction Video for you containing the most important information.
  • Buddy-Programme: every new master/international student gets assigned to another student already studying at the university, a so-called “buddy”. That’s a person already familiar with the faculty and city. They are the first contact person for you if you have any questions about your studies or life in Göttingen in general.
  • Question and Answer Session: we offer two (online) Question and Answer sessions for you where you have the chance to ask any question concerning the Buddy Programme, the virtual campus, creating a timetable etc. You can find details on these sessions in the Handout.
  • Providing information: below we provide some documents with detailed information on what we do, important points of contact and how to organise your studies.
  • Social Events: throughout the semester we organise some social events such as city tours, game nights, hiking trips or an international dinner. Sign up on the mailing list or subscribe to our WhatsApp group to not miss any of these events.



Unfortunately, we cannot assist you with formalities concerning your studies. For this, please contact your responsible study advisor or the Göttingen International Office.

For questions about residence permit we have to refer to the Foreigner's Registration Office (Ausländerbehörde) of the City of Göttingen
