Mi casa es tu casa

The “Mi casa es tu casa - Zu Gast bei Freunden” project offers international students at the Ohm the opportunity to get to know staff at the university and their families. The Ohm’s International Office connects international students with Ohm staff at the beginning of the semester. At various events, the families and students get to know each other, make arrangements for more meetings, and exchange ideas. Many families invite students to go on excursions in the region, join them to cook a meal together, or visit cultural events, for example.

Information for host families

International students should also feel welcome during their time in Nuremberg and return to their home countries with a positive and friendly impression of Germany. So students can have an opportunity to have a closer look into life and culture in Germany besides their studies at the Ohm, the International Office welcomes contact from interested members of staff, who are interested in intercultural exchange with students.

Aims of the project

Our aim with the project is to enable better integration for the students and to give university staff members an opportunity for intercultural exchange. Communication should not be an obstacle, as students speak English well and often can speak basic German.

The process

After the initial phase, all participants will receive the contact information of their matched partners and can correspond directly with each other. The matches have complete flexibility in planning their meetings – an evening cooking together, an excursion in Franconia, a stroll through the city center... There is no obligatory schedule or timeframe – you can meet once a week, once a month, or even just once or twice a semester–however it suits your schedule.  

Information for students

You’re new in Nuremberg and at the university? You’re interested in learning more about the people and culture here? To gain some insight into “typical German” life? If you are interested in intercultural exchange and are open-minded, sign up with us and become a part of our project - we look forward to hearing from you!<br/> <br/> The offer is designed primarily for exchange students and international students in their first semesters at the Ohm, but we welcome all applicants and will facilitate connections wherever possible.

Registration

You can register anytime, but matching takes place at the beginning of the semesters.

Language tandem

Interested in learning a foreign language or in improving your skills in a foreign language? Looking for interactive and dynamic exchange? If so, the Language Tandem programme is just what you are looking for! Language Tandem means that, usually, two people with different native languages work together to improve their language skills.

How does Language Tandem work?

When you register, you state your native language and other languages that you are learning and would like to improve. The International Office will then search its database for a student who is a native speaker of that language. 

By getting together and doing activities together, you will soon pick up valuable skills in a foreign language, while at the same time getting to know new people and cultures within our university. You can decide how you want to arrange your meetings and what you want to learn and do together.

Interested?

Then register now using our online form.

Registration deadline for winter semester 2025-26: to be announced
We look forward to your participation!

Language tandem event

Nothing is like personal exchange! Once each semester, we hold our popular language tandem event! You can get to know each other with diverse games and exchange formats in a relaxed atmosphere.

The next language tandem event will be on 11 November 2025.

Use the online form to register for the event. The location will be announced after the registration deadline. 

How we use your registration details

All information is provided voluntarily. If you want us to delete your personal information from the Language Tandem database at any time, please let us know via email at sprachtandem@th-nuernberg.de. The information you provide will only be used by staff at the Ohm to match you with a language partner and will not be divulged to third parties. For matching purposes, only your name and university email will be passed on to your selected tandem partners, as a suggestion. Other data will not be passed on and can be shared with your tandem partner once you have got in touch with him/her in person and at your own discretion.

Any questions? If so, please send us an email at sprachtandem@th-nuernberg.de

Country evenings

The International Office hosts one or two country evenings each semester. These events are planned by international students at the Ohm. They present their home countries by sharing regional culinary specialties, entertainment, music, and information.

International students who would like to organise a country evening about their home country can please contact the International Office with their ideas:
