Welcome Service for International Researchers
Welcome to the University of Hamburg!
The Welcome Service supports international researchers, including doctoral researchers, who wish to stay for at least one month at the University of Hamburg.
We provide information, advice, and assistance with everything you need for your stay and life in Hamburg: entering Germany, obtaining health insurance, finding housing, dealing with authorities, and even looking for a suitable kindergarten for your child.
The Welcome Service is happy to help you with any questions you have about your stay in Hamburg.
Register with us so we can provide the best possible support.
The Welcome Service further distributes a newsletter and offers regular events. Consider signing up in order to stay connected and meet fellow international researchers and doctoral candidates.
The Department of International Affairs also offers support and funding opportunities for researchers at risk.
Newly appointed international professors can contact the Service for Newly Appointed Professors.
