• Exchange students

  Exchange students can apply for a room in a student hall of residence operated by the Studierendenwerk Münster (Student Support Services). The online application form can be found here.
  
  Please note: Due to a limited number of rooms, you should apply as soon as possible!
  
  How to apply:
  - After logging on to the Studierendenwerk Münster website, you can apply for a room online by selecting "Online-Bewerbung" under the heading "Studentisches Wohnen".
  - Fill in all of the required fields. Within the menu item "application for admission" choose "exchange" as faculty.
  - In order to participate in the Welcome Week events for new students, we recommend entering 1 March (summer semester) or 1 September (winter semester) as your "desired date of moving in". This also increases your chances of receiving a room.
  - After submitting your online application, every 30 days, you will receive an e-mail from the Studierendenwerk asking you to confirm your place on the waiting list. This shows them that you are still interested in receiving a room in a student hall of residence.

• Additional information

  The flats with shared facilities can only be rented to a group wanting to share. The group must consist of two, three, four students depending on the number of the rooms available, e.g. a four-room flat for four students. A lease agreement cannot be made with individuals.
  
  Applications from disabled students holding a disabled person’s ID will be given priority. A copy of the disabled person’s ID should be attached to the application.
  
  Students with one or more children may apply for accommodation in the student residence at, Gescherweg 50-64, 48161 Münster as follows:
  
  - a two-room flat = single parent with one or more children
  - a three-room flat = couple (both must be students) with one or more children.
  
  Students with children are given priority over groups without children intending to share a flat, while all applications from students with children are processed according to the order in which they are received. A copy of the child’s birth certificate should be attached to the application. In the case of pregnancy a doctor’s certificate verifying the pregnancy should be attached.
