“Nice local town with good university and program”
Fabian H
Dominican Republic, Undergraduate
Informatics, 2023
Overall
My course had nice tutors, professors and a good learning environment. You have to be interested in computers and programming. The course is held in German.
I liked the city of Oldenburg. It is a calm German city and there are a lot of sport offers in the Universities sports club like Tennis, gymnastics and sailing.

“A calm university with relaxed professors”
Thorben S
Germany, Graduate
Business Studies, 2017
Overall
The courses were appropriate for German conditions. There was a good range of exercises so that one could pass the exam with a little practice. My Business Administration course is combined with the Law major, so I had to take many legal subjects. The professors are nice and always helpful. I found the university to be very pleasant
