3 Exchange and Guest Students Each year EBS welcomes more than 300 exchange students from our more than 200 partner universities around the world on campus. Founded in 1971, EBS is the oldest private business school with university status in Germany. It is located in the heart of the Rhine-Main region, in geographical terms, at the centre of Europe. This region is a hub of economic development with a population of more than 4.7 million, 320,000 companies, including 2,200 high-tech production plants, sales and services organizations. EBS is within easy reach of Wiesbaden, the capital of the state of Hesse, and Frankfurt, the financial metropolis of continental Europe with more than 430 national and international financial institutions including the European Central Bank. The first people with whom exchange and guest students have contact with are the members of the International Programmes Team. If you wish to broaden your educational experience by spending one or two semesters studying abroad, then we can accommodate you at EBS. We have a rich curriculum and a wide range of courses which are appropriate for either a one semester or two semester stay. In addition we offer to all students from our partner universities a German language course free of tuition charges two weeks before the official start of the semester. You may decide that you would like a diploma, not only from your own country, but also from a German university. We can offer you the option of studying at EBS for a minimum of one year to gain a double degree, provided that there is an agreement to do so between EBS and your home institution. The Office of International Programmes will make every effort to ensure that you have everything you need to prepare you for your studies at EBS. It is important that you, as an exchange student, are made to feel at home; at EBS. We achieve this in the following way: the International Programmes Team is always at hand to deal with any administrative queries or concerns and to help with general needs eg, housing allocation of a student buddy (fellow students from EBS) who can support you on a day-to-day basis. Student Buddies General information for international Student We want you to feel "at home" when you arrive.

4 To help you settle in, every visiting student will be allocated to a student "buddy". A "buddy" is an EBS student who has volunteered to take care of you during your initial time at our university. He/she is responsible for: introducting you to social life at EBS, showing you around the area, providing you with inside knowledge on student life at EBS. A student insitiative called "International Student Relations" (ISR) is dedicated to the buddy allocation process and to assisting international students in getting to know EBS. They organize parties, cultural trips and social events of all kinds. Newly admitted exchange students can expect to hear from them via regarding upcoming events, etc. Opening a Bank Account Banks All banks, savings banks and post banks in Germany offer more or less the same service, but the fees for their services may differ. As a student you are usually exempt from account management charges (Germ. "Kontoführungsgebühren") but this does not happen automatically. To receive the discount, please show your EBS student ID card when opening the account. You have to open the account personally. Please bring the following documents: 1. Your passport or national identity card; 2. Proof of registration in Germany from local resident's office (Germ. "Einwohnermeldeamt"); 3. EBS student ID card. As an account-holder, you can carry out monetary transactions at any branch office of your bank. You can get cash free of charge from ATMs at any branch office of your bank. If you use the ATM of a different bank, you will have to pay a service fee for each withdrawal. Apply for online banking when opening your account! It is very handy to handle transactions! Transferring money In Germany, it is not common to send cheques to people by post (e.g. rent to your landlord). There are various ways of conducting monetary transactions: Transfer (Germ. "Überweisung") Used to transfer money electronically from one account to another. You have to

5 fill in a transfer form and hand it in at your bank or do it via your online banking portal. EU standard transfer (Germ. "EU Standard Überweisung") Used to transfer money between two banks in the EU area with little or no fees at all. Enquire with your bank for details. Don't use "normal" transfers between two banks in the EU as they have high service charges! Standing order (Germ. "Dauerauftrag") If you have regularly recurring payments of the same sum, such as your monthly rent, it is convenient to arrange a standing order. The sum will be transferred automatically on an agreed date and to the account of the recipient. Direct Debit (Germ. "Lastschrift") This is a handy method of payment if you have recurring sums which vary in size, such as the telephone bill. You give the recipient a direct debit authorization (Germ. "Einzugsermächtigung") which authorises them to draw the respective amounts from your account. Of course, you can always cancel the authorization and stop the direct debit. This method of payment may be new to you and you may be suspicious that it could be open to abuse. However, all direct debits are registered on your bank statement so that you can check them and revoke any incorrect debits. For the addresses of local banks you can refer to our Life at EBS Guide. As a rule, banks are open Monday through Friday from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm with a break around lunchtime. ATM/Credit Cards When you open an account, the bank will ask you if you want an ATM Card ("EC- Karte", usually free of charge) and/or a credit card ("Kreditkarte"; costs may vary). These cards as well as your individual security codes will be sent to you by post in separate envelopes within 1-2 weeks after opening the account. Make sure your name is clearly visible on your mailbox! In Germany, it is not common to pay small amounts (less than 10 EUR) with a credit card! Use cash or an ATM card instead. Most shops and hotels in Europe accept German ATM and credit cards. Signs on the door tell you what the shops accept: EC or MAESTRO sign = ATM cards accepted VISA/MASTER/ etc. signs = credit cards accepted Loss or Theft of Cards

6 Be careful of criminals misusing your cards! Should you lose your credit/atm cards, call your bank immediately to freeze the cards and then notify the police of the criminal transcations! If you need to block your cards outside of normal banking hours, call the general emergency hotline to report losses and theft: Health Insurance Health Care By law, every student at a German university has to prove adequate health insurance which covers you against any illness or hospitalisation. This is also applicable for all international students registered at EBS for exchange or for degree programmes. You will only receive your admission documents from EBS if you have provided proof of adequate insurance. Emergency travel insurance plans are NOT considered sufficient cover! Sometimes your home insurance plan covers you during studies abroad! Check with your insurer before purchasing a new plan! If you come from an EU member country your national health insurance plan is usually sufficient for your stay in Germany! Please bring your European Health Insurance card with you! Also, take it with you whenever you visit the doctor or dentist. If you come from a non EU Member country you will most likely need to purchase additional health cover for studying in Germany. Please keep in mind that emergency travel coverage is NOT sufficient to get a student residence permit! You need an insurance plan for STUDYING in Germany! The Germany immigration office is very strict, which plans they accept for your visa/residence permit application. EBS will recommend certain insurance plans acceptable for visa and immigration matters when issuing your admission documents. Medical Treatment Besides general practitioners, you will also find specialist doctors everywhere in the area around EBS. Usually, you should make an appointment to see a doctor. However, if you are in acute pain, you can also go without an appointment. You are free to choose which doctor you wish to go to. However, if possible, ask somebody to recommend a specific doctor. In our Life at EBS Guide we have listed a number of doctors and hospitals in the area. The addresses of other practitioners can be found in the classified directory /Yellow Pages (germ. "Gelbe Seiten"). The Yellow Pages are available either online or in hard copy at the local registration office.

7 Emergency Call is the free-of-charge phone number you can call an ambulance (Krankenwagen) in the case of a medical emergency. Pharmacies In Germany you can only get medicine from pharmacies (Apotheke). These should not be confused with drugstores (Drogerie) where, at most, you can get some cough drops or other weak drugs. There are two types of medication: freely-available drugs and prescription-only medicine. You can only get the latter if a doctor has prescribed them and you take the prescription to a pharmacy. Some medicines, which may be available without prescription in your home country, need to be prescribed by a doctor in Germany (e.g. antibiotics). You will need to pay for your medication yourself. Afterwards, it is possible to submit the receipts to your insurance company to claim a refund (check details with your insurer). In our Life at EBS( guide we have listed a number of pharmacies in the area. Emergency Services Pharmacies in Germany operate a rota system to ensure that at least one pharmacy in the area is open at any time (also at night and on Sundays). However, in rural areas it might mean that you have to travel to the next village or town. Details about which pharmacy in the area is on emergency duty are posted at the door of the pharmacy or in the local newspaper under the heading of "Apothekennotdienst". Who Needs a Visa to Study at EBS? Visa Regulations All international students are required to investigate in advance whether they need a visa to study in Germany or not! Here are some general information on the subject. However, we always recommend to check with your nearest German Embassy for up-to-date information on this matter.

8 The German immigration law categorizes all visitors into 4 categories, depending on county of origin. They are as follows: 1. EU countries Nationals of EU countries usually do not need a visa to enter Germany or study in Germany. To find which countries belong into which category, please refer to a list( issued by the German Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs. How Long Does it Take to Apply for a Visa? If a visa is required, the student should calculate 8 to 10 weeks time to receive it. At some embassies, the waiting times for a visa appointment can be very long. Thus, we recommend applying for a visa appointment as soon as possible. Further Information A detailed factsheet on visa and immigration matters will be mailed to all newly admitted international students together with the admission documents. Students may also refer to our "Life at EBS" Guide for further details. Housing office Dear students, welcome to EBS Universität! To find suitable accommodation is difficult enough considering, that international students require furnished and equipped accommodation, most German landlords do not speak English and the prices are quite high due to constantly rising expenditures prices. But in a small town like Oestrich Winkel where you compete with German students it can get very difficult. Since EBS Universität does not provide dorm space for all our students, yet, our main objective is to assist international students in finding accommodation for their term or year at the university. Please be aware that we can not guarantee accommodation to each of you but provide a number of useful cervices that will help you to find your flat. 1) If you participate in our Flat Hunt ( you will profit form the all inclusive package of reservation, contracting, and (if you register for our pick up service) key at arrival service.

9 most contracts are in English and many landlords include internet connection into the package. 1a) One special aspect of Flat Hunt is the possibility during Spring Terms to sublease a flat form one of our German Students going abroad.
