After you have registered for SoleMove, your applicant account is created. This is not an automatic process. We check for new registrations multiple times each day and you will usually receive your user information within a few hours or on the next day, if you register in the evening.

As we do not work on weekends, any registrations from the weekend are processed on the following Monday.

If you have not received your user information after a few days, please check your spam folder. User information is sent from the SoleMove account: noreplyatsolenovoPunktfi. You are welcome to email us at ohm-issatth-nuernbergPunktde and we will check if there were any technical problems on our end.

Accommodation costs are not included in the fees for the Ohm International Summer School. You must make your own accommodation arrangements.

In Nuremberg, there are many options for lodging in hotels, hostels, or from private providers. Prices vary greatly. In any case, you should budget around 500 euros for lodging. We recommend you look for and book lodgings directly after the application phase, as Nuremberg is a popular destination in the summer and inexpensive accommodations are often booked out quickly.

We can recommend some accommodations in Nuremberg and the surrounding area. We have blocked some rooms at some of these providers under special conditions for Ohm International Summer School participants. Participants who have been accepted into a course and have confirmed their spot will receive more information from us.

After you have been admitted to a course and have confirmed your spot by paying the participation fee, you will receive your official Letter of Acceptance and a Confirmation of Payment from us. These two documents are usually enough for the visa process. If you have difficulties and require additional documents, please contact us at ohm-issatth-nuernbergPunktde. We will do our best to assist you.

Adequate insurance coverage is required to participate in the Ohm International Summer School. Your regular insurance may not provide for adequate coverage if you travel abroad; therefore you may need to have additional travel insurance. Please be sure to secure a suitable health insurance policy so you can enjoy your time with us without worry.

Nuremberg’s transportation system is excellent. The Albrecht Dürer Airport is located in Nuremberg, but the city is also well connected to all other airports in Germany and is also easy to reach via bus or train.

An overview of all travel options including schedules and prices can be searched for on this website.

The public transport system is extensive, clean, and safe. You can reach your lodging and our campus quickly from the main railway station, airport, or the central bus station. All information about local public transport is available on the website of the VGN (Verkehrsverbund Großraum Nürnberg).

Information about our university campus and directions is available on our website.

Tip: We recommend organising a Deutschlandticket for your visit. The D-Ticket is a cost-effective option that allows you to use all regional trains and public transport systems in Germany. It’s ideal for travelling around Nuremberg and also for excursions in the surrounding area.

The cultural and leisure programme is a comprehensive offer for all Ohm-ISS participants.

It includes social events and many interesting excursions and activities in Nuremberg and in Bavaria.

Impressions from the programmes in past years are available on this page.

Yes, you can withdraw from the Ohm-ISS.

There is no cancellation fee, if you cancel until 15 May. We will refund your participation fee in full.

After 15 May a cancellation fee of 200 euros will be charged.

After 30 June a cancellation fee of 350 euros will be charged.

The cancellation fee is in place, because after 15 May, expenses associated with planning the summer school have already been incurred. Please note that the cancellation fees are set regardless of your reason for withdrawing. After 15 May, the cancellation fees apply in all cases.

What happens if the course that I want to take is cancelled?

Currently, all courses are planned to take place. However, until the beginning of June, it is possible that a course may be cancelled, if the minimum number of participants is not met or if other compelling circumstances make it necessary. The Ohm will inform registered participants by email, if a course is cancelled. If a course is cancelled, the participation fee will be refunded in full. Expenses that are not related to the course cannot be refunded. Please keep this in mind when you are planning your travel.

Currently, there are no scholarships awarded by the university for participants of the Ohm-ISS.

Students from the Czech Republic can apply for a grant to participate in summer schools in Bavaria from the Bayerisch-Tschechischen Hochschulagentur (BTHA).

More information is available on the BTHA website.

Important: Even if the website states 26 March as the deadline, you can still apply for a grant! Grants are issued as long as funds are still available.
