SUPER promotes the internationalization of the University of Stuttgart and supports the exchange of scientific information. In addition to doing high-quality research, students gain intercultural insights and experience student life that is different from home.
Due to the intense level of research supervision, the number of places is extremely limited.
SUPER is generously funded by the Cristian Bürkert Foundation.

Student visa
Students who are citizens of Australia, Canada, or the United States can enter Germany with their passports. A visa is not required for visits up to 90 days. Citizens of all other (non-European Union) countries must apply for a student visa (Studentenvisum) at the German Embassy or a German Consulate in their home country prior to departing for Germany. They will need to present a letter of admission from the University of Stuttgart which the university will issue after completing all application formalities. Check our visa page for further information.
Health insurance
For insurance reasons, SUPER participants must enroll as regular students at the University of Stuttgart. The approximate cost for enrollment will be EUR 110. German law requires all students to have health insurance. Non-EU citizens have to purchase student health insurance upon arrival in Germany. Further information can be found on our insurance page.
Housing
Upon request, the International Office can help you locate accommodations in one of the student dormitories. More information about costs and application.
Welcoming service
As a participant of SUPER, you may also apply for our welcoming service which offers assistance upon arrival. It is simple to apply. Once you are registered, an experienced student from the University of Stuttgart will contact you before you leave home and pick you up at Stuttgart airport or the central train station and accompany you to your accommodations.
SUPER participants do not pay tuition for the program but are responsible for the rent on their student dormitory accommodations. The rent in student dormitories is approximately EUR 350 per month.
