BUW campus
The city campus of BUW provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Wuppertal has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. The university has a functioning library. In addition to educational materials in various scientific areas, it contains a collection of classical and contemporary literature. BUW accepts students for international exchange programs. This is a great opportunity to gain experience in intercultural communication for both international and local students.
To stay in Germany after graduation for another 18 months, you need to apply for a graduate visa, which allows you to work without an offer from an employer. We talk about other options for immigration in our article.
