Code of Conduct

National Code of Conduct for German Universities Regarding International Students 

In November 2009, the General Meeting of the German Rectors' Conference adopted a National Code of Conduct for German Universities Regarding International Students.

The Code of Concuct aims to establish a set of common minimum standards in the field of "Information and Marketing, Admissions, Supervision, Support and Advice, plus Follow-up Services", on which international students can rely. The guiding principle is, wherever possible, to grant international students the same rights as are available to German or EU students and, over and above this, to offer them the services and assistance that they particularly need as foreign guests.

Hochschule Pforzheim is a signatory of the Code of Conduct since 2019.
