Welcome Centre of the University of Passau

The University's Welcome Centre is the first port of call for international academics who need assistance with matters of residence status, insurances, taxID, banking, accommodation, German courses, access to the university’s infrastructure (ZIM credentials & CampusCard), support for their families travelling with them and furthering integration.
