In case you have little knowledge about the German language, we have translated the application form in English to help you to complete the form. But please do not complete the English version as the Studentenwerk only accepts the application form in German.
3) Please, also send a copy of the application form via e-mail or fax to Ms Cramer of the International Office: dorothee.cramer@ohm-hochschule.de; Fax: +49 911 5880 8804
4) After the deadline the exchange students will receive an offer of accommodation together with relevant attachments directly from the Studentenwerk via E-mail. As those are written in German, you can obtain their corresponding translation in English here:
- room-offer
- room offer and reservation
- rental contract (page 2 and 3)
- housing rules and additions.
5) Please confirm the form "room offer and reservation" by fax. In addition you have to pay the rent for the first month as well as the deposit in time. Thereafter, you will receive a confirmation of payment with important details concerning your accommodation from the Studentenwerk. Once again: this is written in German. For getting a sample confirmation in English, please click here.
6) If you do not confirm this offer of accommodation in time and do not observe the deadlines for payment of deposit and the rent for the first month, the reserved room will be offered to somebody else. You are no longer entitled to apply for accommodation in the student residence halls.
7) If you have done all the procedures mentioned above, the rental contract will be ready for you to sign upon arrival. After your arrival, you have to open an account with a local German bank. Once the Studentenwerk has all your bank details, your monthly rent can be paid via direct debit.
When you move into your room in the student residence hall, the International Office will find a tutor or a buddy to give you a helping hand.
