Round Table for International Students: this regular round table is open to students from all Leipzig universities who feel they belong to the group of international students. This format is intended to be used to get in touch with each other, to exchange ideas and to inform each other.

Buddy Service of the International Office
The buddies (students of Merseburg University of Applied Sciences) help with big and small problems of everyday life, e.g. going to the authorities, problems in the hall of residence, etc. They regularly organise cultural events and take students on excursions to show them around Merseburg.
