With the widespread lifting of travel restrictions and the return to study face-to face on site, many universities in most parts of the world have reopened their doors to international students. We are very pleased to see student mobilities taking place again and ask our outgoing students to take note of the safety information (information in German).

Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences warmly welcomes international students. Currently, there are no entry restrictions, no vaccination or testing requirements, and all teaching is face-to-face. There is a recommendation to wear FFP 2 masks on campus and in the lecture rooms. Wearing an FFP2 mask is mandatory on buses and trains in Osnabrück and the region, as well as at doctors' offices and in hospitals. Otherwise, there are no restrictions in public life.

Should there be any changes, information will be provided

• the Federal Ministry of the Interior about travel restrictions / border controls

• and the state of Lower Saxony about Corona measures. (website in German)

Interim regulations for work organization will be in place until March 31, 2023.
