Are you a Ukrainian student who is already enrolled at one of these universities in the Munich area, for which the Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern is responsible?
Then the following information might be interesting and useful for you.

 

Due to the war in their country, many Ukrainian students are currently facing fear and uncertainties about their future – fear for their family members in their home country but also existential worries. Some will lose the financial support from their families. At the same time, the right of residence in Germany might be endangered due to financial issues or others.

The Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern therefore wants to provide quick and straightforward support and would like to point out to Ukrainian students that they can contact the following services: 

  • Do you have lots of questions, need someone to talk to or would like to go through your next steps, e.g. to improve your financial situation? Then you can get in touch with our counsellors at the General Advice and Social Counselling Service (Allgemeine und Soziale Beratung), who will be there for you via email or phone!
  • If you're experiencing financial difficulties, you can also apply for financial support amounting to 100 euros for your canteen card – get in touch with the General Advice and Social Counselling (above) for more information.
  • Ukrainian students living in one of our halls of residence can ask to defer rent payments.
    If necessary, please contact the administrative office in charge for your hall to find an individual solution.
  • If you're a Ukrainian student and require psychological or psychotherapeutic support, you can always contact our Psychotherapeutic and Psychosocial Counselling Service. Our colleagues will try to fix an appointment for you as soon as possible despite the long waiting list.

Furthermore, the Bavarian Studierendenwerke are in contact with the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts to extend BAföG services also to Ukrainian students.

The Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern is deeply shocked by the situation in Ukraine. We condemn all forms of war or violence!

The Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern offers its services to all students regardless of their ethnic and/or social origin, their religion, gender, physical appearance, nationality or physical, mental or psychological disabilities.
