What is f.au.st?

This initiative became active in June 1999 and was the first of its kind in a Bavarian university city.

?

Why was f.au.st founded?

The International Offices of the 新万博体育下载_万博体育app【投注官网】 and the Technical 新万博体育下载_万博体育app【投注官网】 of Applied Sciences and the Counseling Service of the Augsburg Student Union are repeatedly confronted with situations in which foreign students - especially those from poorer countries of origin - find themselves in material need for various reasons, often beyond their own control. This is where faust e.V. can help.

?

The work of faust e.V. led to the initiation of the project "Welcome to Augsburg's Universities", which in 2003 was awarded the prize of the Foreign Office of the Federal Republic of Germany for excellent support of foreign students at German universities.

?
