Understanding residence rights - opening up prospects for staying!

Series of events on residence law

In the socio-political discourse, people seeking protection are increasingly portrayed as a threat to internal security rather than as individuals with individual rights. In this context, fundamental rights such as the right to asylum are being questioned more and more openly. As the ASH Pre-Study Program and Newcomer Office Team, we accompany international and refugee students as well as prospective students and would like to contribute to ensuring that as many students in the SAGE professions and employees of ASH Berlin as possible have the opportunity to learn about the rights of people who arrive in Germany after flight/migration processes and to be able to put them into practice.

Therefore, in cooperation with Emily Barnickel from Flüchtlingsrat Berlin e.V., we are offering a series of events on residence law issues in winter semester 2025/26:

  • Third-country nationals and consolidation of residence / 23.09.25, 16:00-18:00, ASH Campus R 226
  • Hardship regulations / 14.10.25; 16:00-18:00, Room: tba
  • Further residence permits and exchange options / 18.11.25; 16:00-18:00, Room: tba
  • Conclusion and open questions / 16.12.25; 16:00-18:00, Room: tba

Registration via Moodle (login with personal account data, registration code: newcomer)

We would be delighted if lecturers would like to take this series of events into account when planning their teaching for winter semester 2025/26 so that as many students as possible have the opportunity to take part. If you have any questions, please contact Silvia Ben Mahrez(benmahrez@ avoid-unrequested-mailsash-berlin.eu) and Johanna Backes(johanna.backes@ avoid-unrequested-mailsash-berlin.eu).

Career entry of international graduates

As an international graduate, you can take advantage of the services offered by our Career Service, for example on the subject of job hunting, studying after graduation or funding programs and scholarships.

As an employer for international graduates in the field of SAGE (Social Work, Health, Education and Training), you can use the services of our Career Services to publish job advertisements here, for example.

Once a semester, we invite international graduates to report on their practical experiences as alumni:

  • the application phase with international educational biographies
  • the onboarding phase in the international team
  • everyday working life in Germany

Information on the next round of talks will be published in April.

Our practice partners report on how you can attract and retain employees with international educational biographies for your company.

We organize network meetings once a year: Here, international students, alumni, practice partners and contact persons at the university exchange ideas and strengthen awareness of discrimination-critical and culturally sensitive interaction in the workplace.

Practice partners from the professional field of SAGE (social work, health, education and training), international ASH alumni and international newcomers can contact Johanna.Backes@ASH-Berlin.eu with concerns about starting a career.

Trainings on anti-discrimination and diversity in the professional world

The training provided by the Bundesfachverband Migration und Flucht (BuMF) is aimed at prospective professionals and professionals who are new to working with young refugees or are starting out.

You can find the current dates for basic training courses here.

The Berlin State Office for Equal Treatment and Against Discrimination (LADS) promotes a culture of esteem for diversity and non-discrimination and offers a comprehensive programme of Diversity Trainings (in German). These training courses are designed for employees of the Berlin administrations, subordinate authorities and employees of state-owned companies, non-profit organizations and associations and conducted by the LADS-Akademie.

Language courses for Professionals and Researchers

The internationale DAAD Academy regularly offers specialized language courses for university members, such as English for academic purposes or German for international researchers and scientists.

Statements and publications

In its current statement, the University-Business Working Group makes recommendations to universities, politicians and businesses and calls for more efforts to make the transition to work easier and more successful for international students and graduates. The working group is composed of the Confederation of German Employers' Associations (BDA), the Federation of German Industries (BDI) and the German Rectors' Conference (HRK).
