Buddy Program

A friendly face to show you around

TUM Campus Heilbronn has a Buddy Program for new students to help our newcomers to get settled in at TUM and in Heilbronn. The Buddy Program matches a group of first-year students with a TUM buddy who supports them during their first semester at TUM Campus Heilbronn. Buddies do an important job in ensuring that our new students have a successful and enjoyable start at TUM Campus Heilbronn.

Find a buddy

Your Buddy will be a friendly face, show you around campus, integrate you in his Buddy group and help you adjust to our campus and university life.

 

You will be part of a larger network of international and domestic students. You’ll connect at online and in–person events that are run and facilitated by your Buddy or/and the Buddy Program Coordinator. It’s a great opportunity to connect with students from around the globe, share your own culture and experiences, and learn about others.

What the buddy program is about

Our Buddy Program pairs you up with a current student, who will integrate you in their Buddy group:

 

  • get in touch with you by email either before you arrive or soon after you arrive
  • meet you at the University and show you around campus
  • share information about Heilbronn and university life
  • host online social hangouts for the group or one-on-one so you feel more connected to the student community .

Requirements to join the program

  • You should have performed the enrolment for the BMT, MiM or BIE study course at TUM Campus Heilbronn.
  • You will receive the link to access the registration form in our Orientation Guide from your study course Program Manager that will be sent out to all new students. Registration is not possible before 1st September. Please register with your TUM email address only.
