Dormitories of the Studentenwerk

The Studentenwerk Niederbayern/Oberpfalz currently operates three residential complexes in Landshut with a total of more than 500 apartments.

You can find a short overview of the residences in the Flyer or on the page of Studentenwerk.

Exchange and dual-degree students from our partner universities have the chance to apply for a room in the dormitories during the application process on Mobility Online.

International students who stay for an entire course of study in Landshut and wish to apply for a room in one of the dormitories run by the Studentenwerk, are asked to submit their application online here.

So called "third countries" are all countries that do not belong to the European Economic Area (EEA) - member states of the EU and Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.

This means that you cannot be enrolled without proof of recognized health insurance. You do not need proof of health insurance for admission. Only after you have been granted admission do you need to provide proof of valid health insurance for enrollment.

Refugees have the right to be exempted from the insurance obligation. The entitlement to benefit according to §§ 4 and 6 AsylbLG or § 24 AufenthG meets the criteria of proof of other coverage in case of illness. The certificate issued by the competent authority after registration (proof of arrival or registration at the registration office) can be presented as proof of "other insurance cover in the event of illness".

Please ask for assistence and relaying under incoming(at)haw-landshut.de.

The vhb Executive Board has decided to supplement the numerous measures taken by Bavarian universities to support refugee students from Ukraine with an offer from the vhb.

Those who have to interrupt their studies in Ukraine due to the war have the opportunity to take courses at the Bavarian universities online via the vhb and thus acquire ECTS credits, which the students can have credited to their home university at a later date if necessary.
This is possible via the already existing access option for "other persons". Students from a Ukrainian higher education institution, whether they have fled or are still in Ukraine, can register in this way in the CLASSIC vhb course portal after presenting a certificate of enrolment for WS 2021-22 or SS 2022, participate for free and acquire ECTS without being enrolled at a higher education institution in Bavaria.

More information in German and Ukrainian can be found here: https://open.vhb.org/

We explicitly point out to Ukrainian students that individual courses can be taken online via the vhb, but a complete degree programme cannot be completed in this way.

Those who intend to obtain a university degree must enrol at a university. Our offer is primarily aimed at Ukrainian students with German language skills. However, 78 English-language courses are also offered, many of which are part of English-language degree programmes at the vhb's sponsoring universities.

Furthermore, around 100 open online courses are available free of charge on the OPEN vhb platform (https://open.vhb.org) to all interested parties, 20 of which are in English. Although OPEN vhb courses are not designed to be credited towards a university degree, they offer a broad range of topics in fact-based university knowledge. Preparatory courses for international students and courses in German as a foreign language are also part of the offer. Since the launch of OPEN vhb in July 2019, several hundred people from Ukraine interested in education have already participated in the open courses.
