We would like to support you in this difficult time and help you, whether "only" for a transitional period or for a longer period of time, to continue or complete your studies in Ukraine, provided that this is within our possibilities or corresponds to our study programme.

OTH Amberg-Weiden supports

Marian Mure, Executive Management of KOMO, and Chancellor Ludwig von Stern are sending medical supplies to Ukraine in the summer of 2022.

The war in Ukraine continues. This situation is shocking, the news situation is staggering. However, the willingness of the population to help is impressive. Like many other universities, OTH Amberg-Weiden has also reacted quickly and created offers to support Ukrainian students and academics. The university continues to be involved at various levels.

For #Europe For #Peace #StandWithUkraine

We are dismayed by the developments in #Ukraine and express our #Solidarity with Ukraine and at the same time with our Russian partners who speak out against the Russian attack on Ukraine!

We share Bayhost’s conviction that the Russian attack on Ukraine damages the successful and friendly cooperation with partner institutions in both Ukraine and Russia that has grown over many years. Our thoughts are with our Ukrainian academic partners, Ukrainian students and their families.

Since its foundation, OTH Amberg-Weiden has been a cosmopolitan university with close ties to international partners and currently has 24 percent international students (student statistics - Primuss, as of 09.06.2022). There are intensive cooperations with numerous partners worldwide - especially in Central and Eastern Europe and, due to various projects carried out since 2014, also intensive contacts with 13 universities in Ukraine. The university partnership has been contractually fixed with three of these universities for many years: National Yuri Fedkovich University (Chernivtsi), National Technical University of Ukraine (Kiev) and KROK University (Kiev). In the context of international projects (currently INTERADIS with eight Ukrainian university partners) and other German-Ukrainian projects, relations are also maintained with other universities in Ukraine. Despite and precisely because of the current situation, OTH Amberg-Weiden is pursuing the goal of maintaining and further expanding its cooperative relationships in Ukraine. This also includes supporting refugee students and academics from Ukraine.

The exchange and projects with Ukrainian partner universities of the OTH Amberg-Weiden are managed by KOMO (with the support of the International Office).

Call for Application UAre@OTHAW-Scholarships

The Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Amberg-Weiden has successfully acquired funding as part of the DAAD funding programme „Zukunft Ukraine - Scholarship Program for Refugees from Ukraine at German Universities”. OTH Amberg-Weiden was thus able to award scholarships to enrolled Ukrainian students in 2023 and 2024. In the summer of 2024, the DAAD extended the duration of the programme and allowed additional funding to be granted until September 2025. From the winter semester 2024/2025, 11 full-time students (Bachelor's and Master's) can be supported with a monthly scholarship.

Due to the exhaustion of the funding, no new applications are possible! (Status: 16/09/2024)


If you have any questions, please contact the KOMO team.
