Information for international students
Welcome to the HNE Eberswalde! We are delighted that you are interested in studying at our university.
Anyone planning to study in Germany has a lot to clarify: Where do I apply? What requirements do I have to fulfil for admission? How do I finance myself? Where can I get help and information? This page provides prospective international students with an overview of our various offerings.
Welcome Programme
The Welcome Team is a group of established HNEE students, who support international students joining our university. The main focus of the team is to support international students during the first semester with administrative tasks (e.g. registration at the city hall) and navigating university life. If you need help with translations during visits to the immigration office in later terms, the team will also be there to help.
The goal is to empower you to take care of all important matters independently after your first semester. Newly arriving students receive a welcome e-mail from the Welcome Team a couple of weeks after their admission. In this e-mail, the procedure for enrolment is explained.

Visa
Most international students require a special student visa in order to enter Germany and study at German universities. To find out if and which visa you need, please check this visa navigator.
Information on the visa process are provided by the Germany embassy in your country of residence. Your embassy is the only source of reliable information. Please check their website for details about procedures, documents, and appointments. You can find your embassy on the website of the Federal Foreign Office.
Universities do not have influence on visa processes and decisions.
Visa application processes can take very long (over a year in some countries). Please check if applicant visas are offered by your embassy or if there are special categories in which visa applications are processed more quickly. The respective information is provided on your embassy’s website.
