Consulting Service
For refugees and asylum seekers who have had to leave their home countries for a variety of reasons, starting and successfully completing a degree program in a new country often poses a particular challenge. The International Office would like to contribute to your successful journey from start to end through good advising practice.

Please bring to your advisory meeting any documents (if available) that may be helpful in advising you. Example:
- Residency permit or document
- Proof of language skills (e.g. certificate, examination certificate)
- Proof of degrees
- School-leaving certificates (e.g. attestation, baccalaureate, high school diploma, IB diploma, etc.)
- Other documents that grant permission to pursue higher education in your home country (e.g. preuniversity course, university entrance examination, etc.)
- Degree, proof of length of study, transcript of records
The documents that you should bring should be available in translation by a certified or sworn translator.
During your degree program: General advising on studying and living in Marburg
Are you studying at Philipps-Universität Marburg and have questions about housing, financing your studies or residency? The “Advisory and Support” team at the International Office is ready to help.

After graduation: Career and job opportunities for international students
Internship, part-time job or permanent position? The start to your career begins even before you graduate. As you transition from the university to everyday working life in Germany, many questions will come up: How do I apply properly for a job? Where can I find a job? What are my strengths? The International Office offers personal consultation and a comprehensive program of events on careers and career entry for international students and students with a refugee background.
