International students have to take care of the accommodation for the duration of their stay in Pforzheim independently. To do so there are different options presented below. The application for a room in one of the student halls will not be accomplished through the International Programs Office, but has to be addressed directly to the administration of the respective student hall. The International Programs Office will gladly assist students with the room search, but cannot offer the services of a housing office.
