Welcome Service for International Researchers

Welcome to Universität Hamburg!

Universität Hamburg’s Welcome Service supports international researchers, including doctoral researchers, who wish to stay for at least one month at Universität Hamburg.

We provide information, advice, and help with everything you need for your stay and life in Hamburg: entering Germany, health insurance, the housing search, dealing with authorities, and even looking for a suitable kindergarten.

For questions about staying in Hamburg, contact the Welcome Service.
Register with us so we can provide the best possible support.  

The Department of International Affairs also offers support and funding opportunities for researchers at risk.

Newly appointed international professors can contact the Service for Newly Appointed Professors.
