The International Center organizes an orientation program for all exchange students. This program helps you settle into your new campus and life in Worms.

Participation is mandatory. It is the first important step of your studies with us. Please check the Fact Sheet in our MoveOn online application for the exact dates [bitte prüfen: aussagekräftigen Link zum Fact Sheet in MoveOn hinterlegen].
