About us

The universities are responsible for research and education - the Studierendenwerke, such as the Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern, are there to support students in Germany in economic, social, cultural and health matters.

By carrying out their duties, the Studierendenwerke should contribute to promote international relationships." (https://www.gesetze-bayern.de/Content/Document/BayHIG-G4)
