Partner
A great part of our services would not be possible without the support of our partners and sponsors. Of course, we are also open to new partnerships - provided that both sides benefit. In the following, we would like to introduce our partners to you.
International Office
This organ of our university guides international students at the OVGU and offers guidance to German students, who would like to go abroad. It is our most important partner, cause in agreement with the International Office we stage our events. Among this, our Welcome Weeks for welcoming new students, excursions and many events, which shall support you with your stay in Magdeburg.
Studentenwerk Magdeburg
Our Studentenwerk (student union) provides accommodation to many students, helps with financial affairs, offers counseling (such as legal and social counseling), organizes different workshops and makes life more attractive for students in Magdeburg. A good example of the services that the Studentenwerk is the CampusTheatre. It is a place for theatre, readings, exhibitions, workshops, parties, cinema, concerts and much more. In addition, IKUS uses the facilities of Studentenwerk, helps you with communication with Studentenwerk in more complicated cases and supports you with many other affairs to support the staff of Studentenwerk.
DAAD - German Academic Exchange Service
This organization is one of our most important sponsors and enables the financing of our events. Through this partnership we can regularly stage events, keep prices low for excursions, and offer intercultural country nights. Many international students at the university are sponsored by the DAAD, too, so it is essentially responsible for the intercultural student life in Magdeburg and IKUS.

The Dormitory Advisors are your contacts for any issues concerning everyday life in the dorms of the Studentenwerk Magdeburg. On top of this, they organize events, offer support communicating with the Studentenwerk or other university institutions and mediate in cases of conflicts in the dorms.
