Culture & Internationals

With its wide range of social programs and services, the Studentenwerk Magdeburg has always been an indispensable source of support for international students in Magdeburg, Stendal, Wernigerode, and Halberstadt.

Studying abroad is an exciting experience, but it can also present many challenges. We want to help international students settle into life in Germany and successfully navigate their daily academic life.

We’re here to help you settle in, find your way around quickly, and succeed in your studies. On these pages, you’ll find important information about counseling services, housing, events, and life in Germany.

Of course, all of our offers are also available to international students!

The Studentenwerk Magdeburg promotes and organizes cultural student events, projects, and workshops in Magdeburg, Stendal, Wernigerode, and Halberstadt.

In our popular creative workshops, at JoGo (formerly the Campus Theater), and as part of the Student Days in Magdeburg, you can express your creativity with our support or even organize your own events. At the InterKultiTreff, students from different countries can build intercultural connections, and during “Lecture Hall in the Dark,” the lecture hall comes alive in the evening as a student cinema.

In addition, through our cultural funding program, we offer financial support for the planning and execution of student-organized events. In this way, we make an important contribution to sustaining the student cultural scene
