Too late for Ophase?

compass: Internationales Mentoring
Computer Science Peer Assistance & Student Support
The computer science department has established a mentoring framework for international master students (MasterPlus) since the summer of 2025. Here, you can ask and discuss topics especially relevant to international students in Darmstadt or the department, such as visas, housing, studying in Darmstadt, and so on. Participation is voluntary in contrast to the mentoring system for bachelors (eiiss). View the introduction during Ophase on YouTube.
Currently, initial contact to experienced mentors is arranged by Eva Kettel. Do not hesitate to send an inquiry: Eva Kettel
