Studentenwerk Leipzig welcomes all international students. We offer various services to facilitate your start and stay in Leipzig, so that you can focus entirely on your studies.
Our services are free of charge for students attending the universities and academies covered by us.
For international students, the first place to go are the International Centres (Akademisches Auslandsamt) or the persons assigned with this task at the respective university.
You can find excellent information on studies in Germany on the Deutsches Studentenwerk and DAAD websites.
If you need help, please contact the student councils as quoted above, Psychosocial Counselling or Social Counselling services of Studentenwerk Leipzig.
Beyond that, there is the anti-discrimination agency of Saxony.
Here’s a video which shows how much living and studying roughly costs per month.
Fast and anonymous help is provided by the late night student-operated helpline “Nightline“.
Mo – Fr, 9 p.m. – 12 p.m. // Phone: + 49 341 973 7777
Assistance and support for personal or study-related problems is also provided by the Psychosocial Counselling and Social Counselling of Studentenwerk Leipzig.
We answer your questions. If, however, you are not sure who or which office to contact, send us an e-mail or visit the SSZ to get personal counselling!
This and many more questions about accommodation answers the Housing section on our website.
The Social Counselling department of Studentenwerk Leipzig can help you professionally and, if you want to, anonymously.
For questions concerning your study abroad, please contact the International Center in charge or the person in charge at the university you attend listed above in the section “First contact”. The DAAD website provides helpful information as well.
If you fall ill or need medical advice, the City of Leipzig has compiled a health guide including a list of doctors speaking other languages than German. Further information can be found on the list given in the“Health guide for migrants”.
