2. BEFORE ENTERING
GERMANY
Language Requirements
P
9
lease ask the respective university
for the language
requirements that
are necessary for
your study programme. Usually your level of
German proficiency is supposed to be sufficient to easily
follow the classes and to fulfil the expected requirements.
Your language skills have to be
At the Language Centre
already documented at the time of
application and enrolment. Usually
this is documented through a
passed language test, namely the
„Deutsche Sprachprüfung für den
Hochschulzugang ausländischer
Studienbewerber“ (DSH), TestDaF
or an equally recognised test. You
can find the required tests for the
respective study programme at:
Web: www.sprachnachweis.de
For your entry with the purpose to study you need a study permit. Do
not entry as a tourist in any case since you cannot convert a
tourist visa into a study permit!
Visa Application
A visa permits you to start a study
programme in the Federal Republic
of Germany. Please inform yourself
about the requirements and procedures of the visa application at your
embassy or consulate in your home
county in due time, i.e. 3-6 months
before the expected entry.
In general the following papers are
required upon the visa application:
•A valid passport
•A confirmed application or a
note of authorisation of a German university
•A proof of finance of at least 670
Euro a month
A visa is not required for citizens
of the EU or countries which have
signed special agreements. This
includes currently Honduras,
Iceland, Israel, Japan, Canada,
Lichtenstein, Monaco, Norway,
San Marino, Switzerland
and the United States of
America. These citizens can
apply for a residence permit
at the foreigner´s registration
office in Rostock after their entry.
Therefore they still need a proof
of finance of at least 670 Euro
a month. Citizens of the EU will
receive a confirmation of the free
movement of persons.
TIP: YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION ON THIS TOPIC AT:
Web: www.auswaertiges-amt.de/diplo/de/WillkommeninD/EinreiseUndAufenthalt/Visabestimmungen.html

Organising a
place in a
hall of residence
11
Accommodation in a room in
one of the Studentenwerks‘
hall of residence is uncomplicated and quite cheap.
Further information on halls
of residence, facilities, furniture
and prices can be found at:
Web: www.studentenwerk-rostock.de
halls of residence are all connected with the campus network of
the university. This means that
you have the same access to the
network as if you were on campus,
provided that you have registered
with an account in the particular
computer centre.
Under the section “Wohnen”
(living) you can find all halls of
residence as well as the online application. In case of any problems
you can also contact the employees of this section via telephone
or email.
All rooms come with a data outlet
to connect to a PC or laptop. The
TIP: Due to the high demand for
rooms in the halls of residence
it is recommended to apply for
a hall of residence as early as
possible!
Signing a
health insurance
Please ask the health insurance of
your native country for the EHIC
(European Health Insurance Card)
or an appropriate certificate for
your insurance in Germany. If you
come to Germany without a valid
health insurance you should sign
one within the first days after
your arrival.

their European Health Insurance
Card (EHIC). International students
from countries without a social security agreement with Germany (EUcountries e.g. Bosnia-Herzegovina,
Iceland, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland,
Turkey and Tunisia) can get their
existing insurance confirmed by a
German Health Insurance. If you do
not have a health insurance in your
home country, you have to sign one
in Rostock. Students are currently
paying around 78 Euro a month. For
more information you can contact
one of the contact persons listed on
page 5 and 6 or an employee from a
statutory health insurance. You can
take a look at locally represented
insurance companies including
addresses and phone numbers

Calls and Phones
45
Public Telephones
The majority of public telephones are coin-operated phones.
Private Telephone Connection
There are many providers for landline,
mobile and internet connections. This
means a huge variety in prices, and
the choice between Pre-Paid-Calling
Cards and different plans/contracts.
Please check the duration of the plan/
contract under all circumstances!
Using the dialling codes of various
Call-by-Call providers, you can usually
call from a landline at a cheaper rate.
You can find an overview of these
providers here:
Web: www.billiger-telefonieren.de
Note for residents of the halls of
residence of the student service
organisation “Studentenwerk
Rostock”:
Due to the existing technicalities in the
halls of residence, establishing a landline connection is in general unfortunately not possible. An alternative can
be using mobile phone providers who
offer a „home zone“ as well as using
voice over IP for example via Skype.
TIP: If you just recently arrived and
have not yet signed a contract, you
can use Skype as well as a desktop
computer with internet connection
in the „Starter-Café“ during the
opening hours (Mon to Fri 14h to 17h).
Visit to a doctor
If you need to consult a doctor
during the week, your family
doctor (general practitioner) is
responsible. If you have never
been to a general practitioner in
Rostock please look up a doctor
(“Allgemeinarzt”) in your area
in the telephone directory („Das
Örtliche“) or the yellow pages
directory (“Gelbe Seiten”) under
the letter „A“.
Web: www.dasoertliche.de
Web: www.gelbeseiten.de
If you need to consult a doctor
(general practitioner or dentist)

bring their passport and the chip
card that they have received from
their health insurance company.

Cycling
Since Rostock is not a very big city
and many university institutions are
scattered around the city, is recommendable to buy a bicycle. Many
stretches of way can be mastered
more easily and faster by bicycle
than by public transportation.
Rostock’s surroundings are also attractive for longer biking tours with
47
its many cycle paths. Many bicycle
shops in the city are offering used
bicycles to moderate prices. Asked
the sales assistant and compare prices! Do also ask your German fellow
students – maybe they can give you
some other tips about where to buy
a cheap bicycle.
TIP: At the beginning of every semester the Local ERASMUS Initiative
Rostock (LEI Rostock) is organising a bicycle market. Here you can get a
roadworthy bicycle for already 30 – 40 Euros. Additionally you have to
pay a deposit of 15 Euro for every bicycle. You will get this deposit back
if you return your bike in a sound condition to the students of LEI at the
end of your stay in Rostock. Further information can be found at:

or 180 half days per year. During the

Students from non-EU-countries
If you would like to work more than
the number of hours specified above, you need a special work permit
for which you can apply for at the
Foreigners‘ Registration Office
(„Ausländerbehörde“). Please note
that this permit can only be granted
in a few cases. You should therefore
not plan to finance your studies by
working on the side.
Students from the „old“ EU- and
EFTA-countries as well as from
Cyprus and Malta
You do not need a work permit to
take on a paid job in Germany. This
also applies for internships. However, you need to request an income
tax card („Lohnsteuerkarte“) at
your respective registration office
(„Einwohnermeldeamt”).
Income Tax Card & 400 Euro-Jobs
You need an income tax card for nearly all kind of jobs. You will receive
it at the Foreigners’ Registration
Office or your respective registration office. Exceptions to this rule are

Employment as a student
assistant
For an employment as a student
assistant you do not need a work
permit. You are also not bound
to the terms of the student work
permit since a close connection
between your studies and the employment is assumed. However, you
need an income tax card. Ask your
study department for possibilities of
employment and check the notice
boards there.
NOTE:
Due to the restricted legal regulation regarding the work permit and
long term unemployment, finding a
job is difficult. Therefore you should
not plan to finance your studies
in Rostock completely by working
on the side. Scholarship holders of
the DAAD are not allowed to work
without the approval of the DAAD.
