It is also very common to share an apartment with fellow students (called Wohngemeinschaft in German, or WG for short). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni-saarland.de\/en\/global\/welcome-center\/accommodation\/housing-office.html\">More information<\/a>.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_video src=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/8f65y_JLMfA&#8221; image_src=&#8221;\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/8f65y_JLMfA\/hqdefault.jpg&#8221; thumbnail_overlay_color=&#8221;RGBA(0,0,0,0)&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;332px&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;332px&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;247px&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; max_width=&#8221;332px&#8221; max_width_tablet=&#8221;332px&#8221; max_width_phone=&#8221;247px&#8221; max_width_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; min_height=&#8221;199px&#8221; min_height_tablet=&#8221;199px&#8221; min_height_phone=&#8221;139px&#8221; min_height_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; height=&#8221;199px&#8221; height_tablet=&#8221;199px&#8221; height_phone=&#8221;139px&#8221; height_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; max_height=&#8221;199px&#8221; max_height_tablet=&#8221;199px&#8221; max_height_phone=&#8221;139px&#8221; max_height_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; disabled=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;332px&#8221; max_height=&#8221;199px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9809 alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/saarland-informatics-campus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/video_campus.png\" alt=\"Aerial view of the campus\" width=\"1280\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saarland-informatics-campus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/video_campus.png 1280w, https:\/\/saarland-informatics-campus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/video_campus-980x588.png 980w, https:\/\/saarland-informatics-campus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/video_campus-480x288.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1280px, 100vw\" \/><br \/>\n<a style=\"position: absolute; color: white;\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/8f65y_JLMfA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"et-pb-icon\" style=\"font-size: 50px;\">I<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Flying over the campus&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5>An aerial view of the campus<\/h5>\n<p>Get an impression of what awaits you when you\u2019re a student in Saarbrucken with a virtual tour of the campus.

It adds 20 credit points of research-oriented work on top of your existing bachelor's programme. It does not replace courses \u2014 it deepens and extends them.\n\nAdmission to the Honors Program Track is highly competitive and based on academic excellence, motivation and fit.\nYou can be considered for the Track in two ways:\n\n<strong>1. Preliminary admission at the beginning of your studies<\/strong>\n\nOutstanding applicants may be admitted preliminarily when they begin their Bachelor\u2019s studies and receive candidate member status upon acceptance. Selection is based on exceptional academic records, strong performance in recognized tests or competitions, and an interview.\nStrong indicators may include:\nexcellent school performance (excellent Abitur, A-levels, SAT\/ACT, JEE, or equivalent);\nstrong mathematics or computer science background;\nsuccessful participation in recognized computer science or mathematics competitions and olympiads (IOI, ICPC, IMO, BwInf, and similar);\n\n<strong>2. Admission after the first study year<\/strong>\n\nStudents who are not candidate members and but show outstanding performance during their first year at Saarland University are also eligible to apply for admission to the Honors Program Track. This application must be supported by the recommendation of a professor.\nThis keeps the Track open to students who develop strongly after arriving in Saarbr\u00fccken and show exceptional academic potential during their studies.\n\n<strong>3. Interview<\/strong>\n\nAs a final step in the application process, each applicant will be interviewed by the admission board. . The interview helps the admission board understand your academic interests, motivation, problem-solving mindset and readiness for an intensive research-oriented track.\nCandidate members who complete their first year with outstanding results automatically proceed to full Honors membership.\n\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\"1\" disabled_on=\"on|on|on\" _builder_version=\"4.27.6\" _module_preset=\"default\" disabled=\"on\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.27.6\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.27.6\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Career\" _builder_version=\"4.27.6\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]\n<h2>Your first step towards research and advanced computer science<\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\"1_2,1_2\" _builder_version=\"4.27.6\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\" _builder_version=\"4.27.6\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Career\" _builder_version=\"4.27.6\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]\n\nThe Honors Program is designed to help students build a strong academic profile early.

Combined with no tuition fees and a comparatively low cost of living, Saarbr\u00fccken offers a genuinely exceptional value proposition for high-achieving students.\n\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\"1\" disabled_on=\"off|off|off\" module_id=\"your-stay\" _builder_version=\"4.27.6\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_module=\"19814\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_cta button_url=\"https:\/\/www.uni-saarland.de\/studium\/bewerbung\/immatrikulation.html\" url_new_window=\"on\" button_text=\"Apply now\" disabled_on=\"on|off|off\" _builder_version=\"4.27.6\" _module_preset=\"default\" use_background_color=\"off\" custom_button=\"on\" button_text_color=\"#ffffff\" button_bg_color=\"#E06100\" button_border_radius=\"10px\" button_alignment=\"center\" button_custom_margin=\"||||false|false\" text_orientation=\"left\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_cta][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Your Stay at Saarland University\" _builder_version=\"4.24.2\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]\n<h2>Preparing for your time at Saarland University<\/h2>\nOnce you receive confirmation of acceptance, all you have to do\u00a0is enroll, pay your semester fee and then find <a href=\"https:\/\/saarland-informatics-campus.de\/en\/studium-studies\/further-services-and-support\/#student-advisory\">accommodation<\/a>. Before travelling to Germany, there are a number of things you will need to do to get organized and, once you arrive in Saarbrucken, a few administrative formalities to complete. For instance, you will need to take out health insurance cover and open a bank account. You will also need to apply for a temporary residence permit and register with the local authorities.

These apartments are intended to make it easier for you to settle in and can be rented for one year. By the end of the first year, you\u2019ll need to find new accommodation (either in a university hall of residence or on the private housing market). The university provides assistance with both. It is also very common to share an apartment with fellow students (called Wohngemeinschaft in German, or WG for short). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni-saarland.de\/en\/global\/welcome-center\/accommodation\/housing-office.html\">More information<\/a>.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_3\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_video src=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/8f65y_JLMfA\" image_src=\"\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/8f65y_JLMfA\/hqdefault.jpg\" thumbnail_overlay_color=\"RGBA(0,0,0,0)\" disabled_on=\"on|on|on\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" width=\"332px\" width_tablet=\"332px\" width_phone=\"247px\" width_last_edited=\"off|desktop\" max_width=\"332px\" max_width_tablet=\"332px\" max_width_phone=\"247px\" max_width_last_edited=\"off|desktop\" min_height=\"199px\" min_height_tablet=\"199px\" min_height_phone=\"139px\" min_height_last_edited=\"off|desktop\" height=\"199px\" height_tablet=\"199px\" height_phone=\"139px\" height_last_edited=\"off|desktop\" max_height=\"199px\" max_height_tablet=\"199px\" max_height_phone=\"139px\" max_height_last_edited=\"off|desktop\" disabled=\"on\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" max_width=\"332px\" max_height=\"199px\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]\n<div style=\"display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center;\"><img class=\"wp-image-9809 alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/saarland-informatics-campus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/video_campus.png\" alt=\"Aerial view of the campus\" width=\"1280\" height=\"768\" \/>\n<a style=\"position: absolute; color: white;\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/8f65y_JLMfA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"et-pb-icon\" style=\"font-size: 50px;\">I<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Flying over the campus\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]\n<h5>An aerial view of the campus<\/h5>\nGet an impression of what awaits you when you\u2019re a student in Saarbrucken with a virtual tour of the campus.
