Disease, war in their home country or the death of a close relative can cause a financial gap that can not be filled due to the limited work permit in Germany.
Often it is only a small amount of money that decides on success or failure of a life plan.
Here, the association for the support of foreign students in Würzburg, which was founded in December 2013 comes into play. It is registered with the Register of Würzburg as a non profit organization. The fund that is solely supported by membership fees and donations intervenes to help foreign students accidentally fallen into financial difficulties.
The Language Center (ZFS) is your first point of contact at the University of Würzburg to learn languages! The Language Center aims to prepare students linguistically for research or study abroad periods or for jobs in a foreign or international enterprise. Students can choose between courses during the semester and intensive courses during the semester break. The group size is limited to 25 participants, the courses are free or charges (except study-preparatory courses of German as a Foreign Language (DaF). The ZFS offers language trainings at three levels (from beginners' to advanced level).
This offer is directed at students of the University of Würzburg. Two students with different native languages are paired to improve their foreign language knowledge and to exchange intercultural experiences. The language partners determine their own targets, strategies, content and learning time. They can also receive support and tips from the Language Center. Language speakers are always native speakers of the language they are offering.
Würzburg is international and multicultural.
There are a lot of international groups and associations.
Global Systems and Intercultural Competence" (GsiK) is a project unique to Germany, which joins 10 institutions from six faculties of the University of Würzburg.
