What we do
We assist in the search for a suitable college/university, offer support during the entire application process and during the course of studies.
According to Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, every human being has the right to education, and thus higher education must also be equally accessible to all according to their abilities. The aim of the StuFen project is to provide a chance for further education in Germany to people who were forced to flee their home countries.
Since November 2015, the International Psychoanalytic University (IPU) has been involved in the StuFen Project in order to support people who came to Germany as refugees. The StuFen Project was initiated by students of the IPU and has been funded by the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) within the Welcome-Program since January 2016.
