Rooms are arranged through the Studentenwerk Potsdam. If you would like to live in our student hall of residence directly on campus, please fill in the online application.
Deadlines:
All of the rooms in our student hall of residence are furnished. All rooms are single occupancy, but the kitchen and bathroom are shared with one to four other students. You should bring your own bed linens (sheets). Duvets and pillows can be purchased for 85 EUR. Single occupancy apartments are also available.
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that all applicants will be assigned to a room in the hall of residence, as rooms are subject to availability and your timely application. Please note that you must pay a reservation fee/deposit of € 300 for a room as soon as you receive a room offer. If you do not pay this fee by the specified date, the room will be offered to other applicants. If you withdraw from your exchange programme, the reservation fee cannot be refunded. If you take the offered room, the fee will be converted into a deposit and refunded at the end of your stay, provided your room is left in an orderly and clean condition.
Costs
The contract will be valid for one or two entire semesters and it cannot be terminated earlier. An extension is possible.
An overview of the key semester dates can be found here. Please note the exam periods and plan ahead for those times!
An “Introductory Week” for all ERASMUS and exchange students takes place one week before the semester begins. During this time, you will be informed about organizational matters and will have a chance to familiarize yourself with the school and the city.
Please note that you need to have statutory health insurance in Germany in order to study at Brandenburg University of Applied Sciences. Please submit the following documents to Heike Wolff (heike.wolff(at)th-brandenburg.de) before the start of the semester:
Students from EU/European Economic Area countries or Turkey only need to submit a copy of the EHIC or AT11.
Non-EU/EWR students need to purchase recognized statutory health insurance in Germany (currently about € 120 per month). Only with sufficient proof of your statutory health insurance can you be officially enrolled as a student. You can already register for a German statutory health insurance before you travel to Germany. If you need further support in this process, the international office will be very happy to help.
In addition to health insurance, we recommend taking out third-party liability insurance and accident insurance.
All non-EU exchange students must apply for a visa at the German Embassy or consulate in their area. We will send you the admission letter required for the visa. You can always contact us for further information. You will need to show proof of a grant or sufficient financial means for the stay (see below).
All non-EU exchange students with a visa period shorter than their planned duration of stay must bring the following documents for their stay in Germany:
Please assist us by providing your arrival details so that our student mentors can pick you up from the airport or train station and accompany you to Brandenburg. Please make sure that you arrive in time for our Welcome Week in Brandenburg.
