VIP: Vechta International Mentoring Programme (VIP)

The mentoring programme VIP (Vechta International Mentoring Programme) aims to facilitate the arrival and orientation of international exchange students in Vechta and at the university by providing them with a personal mentor. For Vechta students and exchange students, the programme offers the opportunity to make new contacts and gain intercultural experience.

The mentors have to already study at the University of Vechta for at least one semester. They are individual contact persons for questions, challenges or problems. They help to reduce the initial culture shock and teach international exchange students about life and culture in Germany from their point of view. Joint activities may also be part of the programme.
