Special program for international students

Relief mit Kelch und Hostie
You would like to celebrate Holy Mass in English. Unfortunately, as a Catholic university community, we do not offer any services in English at the moment. But you can take advantage of the offers of the anglophone community in Koblenz. They offer a eucharistic celebration every Sunday at 4:00 p.m., namely:
  • every 1st, 3rd and 4th Sunday in St. Antonius (Brenderweg 17-21, 56070 Koblenz-Lützel)
  • every 2nd Sunday in Pilgerheim Haus Schoenstatt (Hillscheider Str. 5, 56179 Vallendar)

Financial aid from the KHG

For whom?

International students  of Koblenz University of Applied Sciences and the University of Koblenz have the opportunity to receive advice and, if necessary, financial support from the Social Fund of the Catholic University Communities in the Diocese of Trier, regardless of denomination and religion in acute financial emergencies.

 

Münzen und Scheine

Approach

Since many students are currently dependent on financial support and funds are limited, funds can usually only be approved once and only to a limited extent.
