... you can not only rely on research and teaching. It is also helpful to be provided with good social conditions, a pleasant environment and a good infrastructure.

The Studentenwerk Osnabrück offers all these services throughout your studies. The Studentenwerk is an independent public institution and as such it promotes the students, about 21.000, in Osnabrück and Vechta in economic, social and cultural areas. Thus, it creates social conditions which enable students to concentrate on their studies in the best possible way; consequently, it helps them to accelerate their studies.

The Studentenwerk works in many different domains concerning your life as a student. Next to consultations about student financing (BAföG, education credit), its main focus lies on providing students with high-quality food in dining halls and cafeterias, as well as offering services regarding reasonable priced accommodations in close proximity to the university. Furthermore, the Studentenwerk runs a psychosocial advice center. Additionally, it offers specific services for students with children. The initiation of two day-nurseries and the support of the Spatzennest in Vechta also belong to this working area. Moreover, the Studentenwerk provides students with loans if they got into financial difficulties.

One of the Studentenwerk’s special commitments is to support students which are active in cultural life and committed to cultural affairs. Students from different subjects and from different federal states meet and use cultural programs as effective means to promote the integration of foreign students. At the same time, these cultural programs offer possibilities to communicate among each other and to encounter different ways of life, as well as opportunities to practice interpersonal competences.

There is a variety of cultural proposals which predominantly take place in cooperation with different partners: for example exhibitions of art students in the gallery, student radio, tabletop soccer tournaments and events planned for and planned by international guests, as well as student bars which offer a cultural program which consist in readings, cabaret and live-music.
