Life in Duisburg

Housing:

You will need to find a room for your stay. You can either look for private accommodation or apply for a place in the student residence halls.

The student residence halls are administered by the Studierendenwerk. The department of Physics is in Duisburg; thus, you should apply for a room in Duisburg. Please apply once you receive the letter of acceptance. Early application is strongly recommended. Further information and the online application form are available here.

Orientation days:

At the beginning of each semester the International Office organizes orientation days for new exchange students. You will be introduced to your new environment, the city and the university. You will receive information about the orientation days with the letter of acceptance.
