The best way to start your stay in Passau is with the International Students' Orientation Weeks starting a few weeks before the beginning of the semester.

The International Office has set up an accommodation service for international students. We have a number of rooms available in our halls of residence, as well as several private flats which are available for rent to exchange students.
