Wiebke

Hey there and welcome to VIP. My name is Wiebke and I am happy to support you during your virtual exchange journey at JLU. I am a 25 year old Medical Student in my 5th year at JLU (Faculty 11) with a special interest in Global Health and Politics. Thanks to my own experiences abroad as an intern and exchange student, I am familiar with some of the challenges one faces when studying at a foreign university and getting to know a new educational system. I joined the International Office in hopes to support you with any occuring problems.

Umang

Hey, I’m Umang! I’m 24 years old and I come from Nepal. I lived in the United States for 4 years, where I completed my undergraduate studies. And now, I’m here in Germany to pursue my Masters in Agrobiotechnology (Faculty 09) at JLU Giessen. It has been a daunting, yet exciting journey as an international student in two different countries so far. And now, I’d like to use my experience to support you in your journey! Hope you have an exciting one too!

Sina

Hi everyone, I'm Sina (23 years) and I'm currently doing my Master's degree in economic geography at JLU (Faculty 07). As a JLU student myself I'm familiar with a lot of problems that can occur while studying here but I also know the perspective of studying somewhere abroad. I hope, you'll have a great time of studying at JLU, make new international freind(really useful for vacation) and broaden your horizon. And as always: If you have any questions or concerns about whatever, I would be really happy to help you!

 

Jacinta

Hi there! My name is Jacinta (28 years)  and I‘m currently doing my masters degree in Intercultural Communication and Business at JLU (Faculty 05). Having experienced the adventure of living and studying abroad myself, I get that  starting at a new university might feel like finding your way through a  maze. That's why I'm here as your E-Mentor to make your virtual exchange experience a bit smoother. So, if you ever have questions or need support with anything, don't  hesitate to reach out. Looking forward to connecting with you!

Pietra

Hello/Olá/Hallo! My name is Pietra and I am 27 years old. I come from São Paulo, Brazil, and I am currently doing a Masters in "Mind, Brain, and Behavior" (Faculty 06) at JLU. As an international student myself, I know it can be a very challenging journey, and that is why I am super glad to be part of the VIP Team and assist you with that!

I can speak Portuguese, English, and a little bit of German and Spanish. Feel free to ask for my help if you have any questions regarding your studies with us.
