Welcome, Willkommen, Bienvenue, Bienvenido, Benvenuto!
We are the WiWir Buddy Program, a student initiative from the Faculty of Economics and Business, and we support the guest students from partner universities of the Faculty.
What is our motivation?
This initiative aims at getting to know the international students and to support them in their new study environment in Frankfurt as much possible. Our buddies are students from the Faculty and therefore brilliant partners for those who need assistance. You can contact your Buddy before your arrival in Germany already, so that he or she can assist you in organizing your stay. As soon as you are here, we will help you with getting to know the University and exploring Frankfurt as well as with introducing you to fellow students.
We regularly organize activities like parties, bar crawls and enterprise visits, and you are more than welcome to join. The events planned for next semester will be available soon. Please feel always free to get into contact with us or your Buddy. Students from other faculties are kindly requested to contact the Buddy Program of the central Global Office, please see here.
We look forward to welcoming you in Frankfurt!
Your WiWir Buddy Team
