Online Q&As for all incoming students
If you have any questions regarding your prospective, current or future exchange stay at WU, feel free to simply join one of our Q&A sessions.
We are always receiving a high volume of emails, thus we would recommend you to join a Q&A session instead of writing an email. This especially applies if your request is not urgent. You have the advantage of asking us multiple questions you might have via chat or microphone and you will receive an immediate answer.
Upcoming sessions (each 1hour):
