Sup­port pro­grammes for Ukrain­i­an refugees

The EU member states have agreed that war refugees from Ukraine will be granted protection status in an uncomplicated manner - i.e. without going through the regular asylum procedure. In Germany, these regulations are implemented according to §24 of the Residence Act. Irrespective of this, Ukrainian nationals can already participate in various DAAD-funded courses and programs without this protection status (where applicable) within the framework of the quotas for international students/academics.

Here you will find an overview of the current support opportunities and programs offered by the International Office of the University of Paderborn for Ukrainian refugees. We are currently in a situation where things change daily and we have to work with many uncertainties. Therefore, the funding opportunities can change constantly and will be adjusted accordingly.
