Great projects for integrating great people 

Dear international students in Nürtingen,

the international office of NGU offers you a range of new projects with the name "Nt-Great" to help you settle into your new environment and to get to know local people. No matter if you have just arrived or if you have already spent a couple of semesters in Germany - Feel welcome to join! We are always open for new participants. In our projects, you can meet Germans and other international students, experience Germany from a different perspective, get in touch with German families, language partners, companies, schools or social institutions - but most of all: make new friends and enjoy your time. Just read through this page and if you find a project you like don't hesitate to get in touch with us.

We hope to see you soon!
