Buddy Program – Mentoring for International Students
Are you an international student starting your studies at the HfM Dresden? Then the Buddy Program is just right for you!
The Buddy Program is specifically designed for international students and pairs you with a mentor from among the HfM student body. Your buddy will support you during your first few weeks—in practical and straightforward ways:
- Help finding your way around campus and in Dresden
- Answers to questions about everyday student life
- Accompaniment to your first classes, visits to government offices, or cultural events (if possible)
- A personal point of contact outside of official channels
The goal is to make your start at the HfM easier and to have a familiar point of contact by your side right from the beginning. The Buddy Program is free of charge and non-binding.

Interested?
Feel free to email me with a brief introduction (name, major, country of origin, and a few short sentences about yourself). I look forward to hearing from you!
