Please note, accommodation can be difficult to source in Wiesbaden and it may be expensive. Students are advised to source accommodation prior to their arrival in Germany.
Visas
As a general rule, Australian citizens do not need a visa to enter Germany but after entering will have to apply for a residence permit at the local ‘Auslaenderbehörde’ (Immigration Office) if staying for more than three months. Your host university will assist you with this. Students from other countries may be required to apply for a visa for study purposes at the German Consulate-General in Melbourne.
For more information on visas for a student exchange, please refer to the Consulate General of Germany here.
EBS also provides some guidance on visas as a downloadable PDF titled Visa Guide Exchange Students.
Health and insurance
By law, all students must have sufficient health cover for their stay in Germany to become registered as a student at a German university and/or to apply for a student visa. Thus, non-EU-students should be careful in selecting a health insurance plan as it has to satisfy the very strict requirements of the university and the immigration office.
EBS provides further information on this in their Visa Guide for Exchange Students, available as a downloadable PDF.
When travelling on a Monash Abroad approved program, you are automatically covered under the Monash University Student Travel Insurance policy. This will provide cover to and from your exchange.
Orientation and extra-curricular
Orientation is compulsory for all new exchange students, it is held in the days prior to the semester commencing (orientation dates can be found in a downloadable PDF titled Information for Exchange Students - EBS Business School). EBS University also offers intensive German classes prior to semester free of charge for exchange students.
Cost of living
While studying in Germany, you can usually expect to spend €700 – 1000 euros per month to cover living expenses, such as housing, food and transportation.
