Information for Students and Doctoral Candidates affected by the war in Ukraine

We are currently receiving many inquiries from students and doctoral candidates at the University of Potsdam who are directly or indirectly confronted with fears as well as financial and residency problems in the context of the Ukraine war. We do, however, also receive many messages from university members who would like to offer their help.
This page is mainly aimed at our university members from Ukraine and students affected by the war, as well as all university members and friends of the UP who would like to help those affected by the war. On this page, we list contact data and support offers of the university and the cities of Potsdam and Berlin and provide information on how you can help. 

Students who are refugees will also find the most important answers on topics such as studies, enrollment, and residence.

If you have any questions or need assistance, you can always contact the services mentioned on this page. We are here for you and will listen to your concerns.

This site is continously being expanded.
