Solidarity with Ukraine

The Catholic University of Applied Sciences Mainz thinks in great concern of the Ukrainian population and the students, colleagues and families of the partner university Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv. "The members of our university are stunned and horrified by the invasion of Ukraine, a sovereign state of Europe, by Russian troops. We think in great concern of the people in Ukraine, especially of the students, colleagues and families of our partner university the Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv," emphasizes Rector Prof. Dr. Ulrich Papenkort.

If you have any questions that we do not answer on the following pages, please write us an email in German or English to welcome[at]kh-mz(dot)de.

Refugee Ukrainians can attend German courses - integration courses, sponsored by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) - at the vhs Mainz. Integration courses are free of charge for people from Ukraine.

The prerequisite for attending an integration course is a residence title (according to § 24 AufenthG) or a so-called fictitious certificate. As soon as you have a residence title or a fictitious certificate, the vhs Mainz will be happy to help you apply for authorization to attend an integration course.

You can find more information here.

In the projects of the 2021 call, it is now possible to exceptionally fund and financially support incoming students and university staff from Ukraine within the framework of the existing grant. In this case, the funded students will be funded at the funding rate applicable to Germany as the target country in KA107 plus the top up for social inclusion. The maximum funding period is 12 months per study period. University employees also receive the rates applicable to Germany for up to 30 days. A further facilitation is that for this funding all agreements have to be concluded only between the German host university and the sponsored persons.
