For International Researchers at TU Darmstadt

Welcome to TU Darmstadt’s Welcome Centre website. We support TU Darmstadt international researchers by providing both professional advice and practical help in the non-scientific aspects of international research life in Darmstadt.

International research must be planned carefully – documentation must be prepared, visas and permits must be applied for, suitable accommodation must be found and contracts must be signed. We provide a personalized consultation service that is tailored to you and your family’s needs and covers a broad range of administrative and organizational topics.
