Dear Parents

We are very pleased that you, together with your child, are thinking about a course of study at Heinrich Heine University (HHU) in Düsseldorf, Germany. As parents, it is natural that you want the best for your child. We also wish our students a carefree time. That’s why it is very important for us to improve and expand our services on a continuous basis.

In the university year 2010/11, we asked all foreign students at Heinrich Heine University about their experience. The result is impressive: Over 70% of those interviewed would recommend studying at Heinrich Heine University. Apart from a good education, other reasons speak in favour of studying at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf:

• A high degree of safety on the campus and in the city
• A high level of quality of life thanks to affordable accommodation and a broad recreational and cultural offer (http://www.duesseldorf.de/eng/tourism/discover/index.shtml)
• A stable social environment which is supportive and in which students are easily integrated
• A very good infrastructure which makes it fun to discover Düsseldorf and from Düsseldorf the whole of Germany

You see: Düsseldorf has a lot to offer as a place to study and is a very good choice.

Getting to know a new culture and learning to stand on your own two feet – a stay abroad is a big step which needs to be well thought through and planned. The German Academic Exchange Service (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst - DAAD) can answer the most frequent questions about studying in Germany. Further information can be found under http://www.daad.de/deutschland/service/infos-fuer/13465.en.html.

We are looking forward to answering your questions concerning a study course at Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf (iSOS).
