Since roughly one third of our student body comes from abroad, the "HU Family" is one of the most important anchors we offer our students. Between the all-encompassing orienation and integration program we organize prior to each winter semester and the continuing social activities throughout the year, you are sure to feel like a welcome member of the family. As course work can be quite intense, we even supply a Social Activities Tutor (financed by the Marga und Kurt Möllgaard-Stiftung) to make sure you have ample opportunities to unwind with your fellow classmates. Assimilation into university life is an important first step towards succeeding in the program and every effort is made to ensure an easy integration into the school, the university, and the city. Besides being available to students almost every day of the week for questions concerning just about anything, the International Office team also supplies its students with a variety of social events, many of which are organized by the students themselves.
The HU prides itself not only on academic excellence but also on producing well-rounded graduates. One of the main ways we help you achieve this is by providing a good study/social life. Berlin is one of the most exciting cities in the world and will no doubt have something to offer everyone who comes. Sroll down to find out more information about the different events we already organized for you during the past month and years.
Participation at upcoming events is open to all German and international students at the School of Business and Economics. Stay updated! Join one of the Facebook groups, contact our staff, and look out for postings for more details. Usually, you will find information about dates, how-to-register and if there is a participation fee (of course at cost price).
Plan Your Own Event
While we in the office love planning events for everybody, it's hard to plan every single event that students want to do. Plus, we love when the students get involved and take charge of events on their own! For this reason, we have a couple of hints for those of you who are interested in organizing their own event!
First you will need to figure out the basics:
what sort of activity do you want to do?
approximately how many people do you hope to participate?
does the activity cost anything?
Once you have the answers to these questions, feel free to email the International Office Team to ask for further advice. Don't forget that you have Facebook groups, the MEMS page and the Wiwi International Office page at your disposal to start getting people interested.
For events within the faculty, you will need to organize a room. The International Office is not in charge of room reservations, but we can point you in the right direction of your Ansprechspartner:
Head of Administration Ms Barbara Wöß
woess@wiwi.hu-berlin.de
(030) 2093-5674
Spandauer Straße 1, Room 4
You will need to speak with Frau Wöß to figure out what dates which rooms are free and to formally reserve it. To organize events like a movie night or game night here in the faculty, you can also talk to the StuRa to ask about using their common room in the cafe.
If you want to organize a group sport game, then you will need to rent a sport hall. In this case, you should contact Herr Schatz from Hochschulsport. He is responsible for all sports and renting of the gym.
