The DEGIS Buddy Program is the largest initiative in Germany to connect international students in their first semester to more experienced students (international or German nationals).
DEGIS Buddy Program set sail in the winter semester of 2020/2021, pioneering the connection of ‘Incoming Buddies’ (newbies) with seasoned ‘Local Buddies’ (veterans) in Germany.
Our mission? The objective of this program is to support incoming students on their first steps by introducing them to a local community, and with that, promoting solidarity and a generally better experience for all
