Arrival by plane, and train to Marburg

Once in Marburg

On arrival day, please wait at or come to Marburg's Hauptbahnhof. We will pick you up at the station.  Be on the lookout for someone bearing the IUSP sign.  If you do not see anyone right away, do not panic, and just wait for a moment.

Emergency telephone when dialing from within Germany:  0160 - 265.57.42.

Please arrive at the Hauptbahnhof in Marburg prior to 6 pm (18 hrs).

The first days

Your stay will begin with a placement test for the German language course. We have organized an Orientation Program that will help you cut some red tape, such as filling in visa and city registration forms, activating your university email account, and simply finding your way around Marburg. A schedule for the first days in Marburg can be found unter "Downloads".
