Support for students & prospective students from groups underrepresented at universities
In Germany, there are numerous non-profit organizations and associations that provide information to social groups which are underrepresented in higher education. These organizations are (1) independent of the higher education institution and (2) completely non-binding and for the most part free of charge. You can find an overview of a number of such initiatives below. If you belong to one of the target groups listed below use the listed websites to find out about individual offers (e.g. mentoring, workshops or career advice) and benefit from the diverse support systems!
