Global Friendship Hub

"Helping the international students is a matter of course for me. I made a lot of interesting contacts during my time as a buddy and learnt a lot as a result. I think a diverse student body enriches our university with more openness and creativity."

"I can recommend the Buddy Programme to anyone who enjoys meeting new people and wants to learn more about different cultures. You can definitely only benefit from this:)"

"The Buddy Programme at Ansbach University of Applied Sciences has helped me personally. I got to know new, nice people inside and outside the university. Many joint activities were offered and I learnt a lot from them. When such opportunities arise, you should seize the chance and make use of them."

"The Buddy Programme is really exciting because you get to know lots of international students and learn a lot about other cultures. Of course, you also automatically brush up on your English."

"For me, every cultural exchange is a great enrichment. Get involved,
to experience that too!"

"It was great fun looking after an international student. She came from a completely foreign country, doesn't understand anyone here and can only communicate in English, even in times of coronavirus. I think it's important to show internationals that they are welcome here and to help them integrate into student life at
Ansbach."

‘"In such a short time, you can build really deep, international friendships."
