Have you been forced to flee your homeland? are you interested in studying at the University of Basel or already matriculated at the University of Basel?

It also provides refugees who are interested in studying or who are already matriculated with support in areas such as finances/budgeting, day-to-day questions, accommodation, correspondence with various official bodies (e.g. Immigration Office, social security), counseling, networking/triage with internal offices at the University of Basel and external offices in the Basel region.

The consultation is non-binding and free of charge.
