International Student Groups and Initiatives
There are a large number of international student groups or initiatives at BTU. In concrete terms, this means that student groups can be organised by country or region. It is also possible to form groups that combine several countries, such as Southeast Asia or LATAM (Latin America). Student initiatives bring together people with common interests, such as the BTU Collectors Hub, for collectors, or the BTU Writers, for lovers of international poetry. As the founder of such a group, you are a permanent point of contact for the university and are in regular dialogue. Twice a year, you will be invited to a round table at which all groups can exchange ideas and raise community concerns together with the International Relations Office. We also support you in finding rooms and offer expertise and financial support for events in an international context.
Have a look around to see if there is already a group that suits you. You can make great contacts there. If there is no suitable group yet, you are welcome to get in touch with us and we will support you in setting one up.

Learning Languages
In addition to the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg Language Center students also have further opportunities to improve their knowledge of other languages. The following offer show how easy it can be to broaden your language horizons.
Language tandem
The BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg Language Center faciltates language tandems. Anyone who is interested can send the required information, stating which languages they speak and which they would like to learn. Once two people have matching criteria and interests, the Language Center will connect them.
Intercultural Festival 'COTTBUS OPEN'
If you are talking about integration, the best example could be the Cottbus Open. This intercultural dimension adds more colour to the annual Cottbus city festival.
Further Tipps:
The student initiative BTU Discover additionally organises fantastic excursions to close-by places such as Branitz and the Spreewald. You can find them here.
In the tutorial series „On the road with BTU“ you can find inspirations for bike tours.
