The Intercultural Mentoring of the Osnabrueck University (Imos) aims at improving the academic study situation of the International students.

The program addresses international students who seek to get their Bachelor's/undergraduate or Master's/graduate degree. Engaged German students and academics (Mentors) support them (Mentees) individually in the process of adaption to the German culture and university system.

The student Mentors gain counselling and intercultural competencies during one semester of training, which they directly apply as they accompany their Mentees through social or study-related challenges.

Additionally, Mentees can get an academic Mentor for subject specific-support in their respective field of studies.

To this day 497 international students were accompanied by 245 student mentors already. For the subject-specific support 63 academic Mentors have engaged in the project so far.

International students can register for the Mentoring program as Mentees, and German students and academics can register as student/academic Mentors. This website offers information about the project.
