About the Program

United Sisters is a mentoring and coaching program for international female students. It creates a space to connect, share experiences and grow together – both academically and personally.

 

Starting in May 2025, the program runs over two semesters. It focuses on empowerment, orientation and mutual support. Participants work on their own topics and questions, gain confidence in their studies and receive impulses for their personal and professional development.

They are supported by international mentors who have studied at the university, are pursuing or have completed a PhD, or are working as academic staff.

 

What to Expect

The program combines different formats:

  • Monthly group coaching sessions, where:
    • personal topics can be discussed
    • mentors provide input and guidance
  • Workshops, e.g. preparing for career networking and the university career fair
  • Social activities, such as cooking events and informal meet-ups
  • Peer support and networking in everyday student life

The program also cooperates with the International University Center (IUZ) and the Buddy Program.

All dates and updates will be shared via OPAL and WhatsApp.
