Application Procedure
Application forms:
June 1, 2002 for the winter semester (September 2002 until end of January 2003)
November 1, 2002 for the summer semester (February/March 2003 until mid of July 2003).
Please be aware that applications submitted beyond these closing dates may not be considered anymore, especially concerning accommodation.
After we will have received the
application forms, we will send more detailed information to the studentshome
address (about accommodation, language course, when to arrive, formalities
etc. see enclosed information booklet). Would you please make sure that
students clearly fill in their home addresses and E-mail address
in the application for the arrangement of accommodation.
Accommodation
We can only arrange for accommodation for students who have sent their applications by the above mentioned deadlines.
The Fachhochschule Frankfurt am Main does not have on-campus accommodation but we have a number of places in student residences in Frankfurt run by the association of student affairs. We cannot guarantee a room for each student who applied for one, but we try our best to find a room for all the students.
Renting periods in student halls are fixed:
winter semester September 1 to January 31
Students should be aware that in Germany rents have to be paid monthly. This means that they will have to pay for the whole month, even if they arrive later in the month.
The rooms are furnished single rooms
with self-catering (community kitchen and showers; washing machines
are available; students have to bring along the own dishes, towels and
bed linen). When applying for accommodation, students should be aware that
most residences in Frankfurt are not brand new and therefore they should
not expect a very high standard.
Note:
Students who have the possibility to get private
accommodation in Frankfurt (friends, relatives etc), should do so and tell
me as soon as possible.
German Language Course
Usually we offer a preparatory intensive German language course before the start of each semester (the first three week in September for the winter semester and the whole of February for the summer semester). If there are enough applications for the language course, we organise two courses on different levels (beginners with basic knowledge and advanced level).
Please be aware that SOCRATES/ERASMUS-students/resp.
other exchange students are expected to already have some good knowledge
of German (about 200 hrs). We do not offer a beginners course.
