And welcome to the Studentenwerk! In Germany, unlike many other countries, the area of student affairs is not taken care of by the university or college itself, but, instead, by separate public institutions - the "Studentenwerke". The Studentenwerk is designed to help students cope with the non-academic parts of student life: the stuff that happens outside the classroom. We provide food in our student dining halls and cafeterias, assist students in finding housing in dormitories or on the private market, support students with children, provide financial aid, and offer legal and social advice as well as counselling. We are here to support and enhance your studies at the University of Kassel, whether you are with us for one semester or your entire university career.

And find below a collection of links with helpful tips and information regarding studying and living in Kassel.

If you have further questions, we are always here for you! Visit us during our office hours (Mondays and Thursdays 10 a.m.-12 p.m., Tuesdays and Wednesdays 10 a.m.-3 p.m.) or call or send us an email.
