1. After your arrival at Munich Airport (MUC), exit the airport and wait for the arrival of bus #635 to Freising, it arrives approximately every 20 minutes. You must purchase a ticket from the driver.

2. Once you have boarded the correct bus, remain on it until Freising train station (this is the last stop for bus #635). The train station in Freising is located very close to the bus stop, approximately 30 metres. Then...

3. Purchase a Bayern-Ticket at the train station! The ticket is convenient and costs 23,- for one person. The Bayern-Ticket can be used for up to 5 persons. For eve-ry additional guest the price increases by 4,-. (For 5 persons the price is 40,-).

4. In the train station look at the display panels for current train information such as departure times and platforms. You must take the train to Passau.

5. At this point you should be in the wagon to Passau. Your stop is Plattling (approx. 1 hour from Freising and 1.25 hours from Munich train station). At Plattling, you transfer to Bayrische Waldbahn, a green train which usually departs from platform 5 or 8. It takes you directly to Deggendorf (only 2 stops, roughly 10 minutes).

II.2 Things to do before travelling to Germany

This is your plan of action:

II.3 Residence Permit: for students who are not coming from an EU member country

Students who are not coming from a EU member country need to apply for a residency permit (Aufenthaltsgenehmigung). To obtain it you must go to the local Immigration Office (Auslnderamt). It is situated in the District headquarters (Landratsamt) in Deggendorf.

You are required to bring along the following documents:

Passport or ID card 3 passport-sized photographs Proof of health insurance Enrolment certificate (Immatrikulationsbescheinigung) Proof of financial support or enough funds

IMPORTANT:

You must have about 660,- per month available for living costs You should be able to show the Immigration Office that you or your parents have 585 * 5 = 2925,- in your bank account. Dont worry if you are unable to show the Immigration Office that you have enough money every month from your parents; there wont be any problems! Registration will cost about 100,-.

Contact:Landratsamt DeggendorfAuslnderamt or Foreigner`s Office Herrenstrae 1894469 DeggendorfTelephone +49 (0)991 3100-227Fax +49 (0)991 [email protected]

The application for your residence permit will be organized during the Ori-entation Week.



II.4 Resident Registration: for all students

Germany has compulsory registration for everybody who lives here. If you stay longer than three months, registration should be done within the first two weeks after moving to Germany.

Registration will be organized during the Orientation Week.

The Registration Office is located in Deggendorf City Hall (Rathaus).

Address: Rathaus DeggendorfBrgeramtFranz-Josef-Strauss-Strae 394469 DeggendorfTelephone +49 (0)991-2960-333

To register, you will need the following:

Your passport Your lease or written confirmation from your landlord

You only need to fill in the so-called Meldebesttigung. That takes no more than 15 minutes.

II.5 Health Insurance

Under German law, everyone studying at a state-recognised college or university is required to take out personal health insurance. Therefore you will need to submit an insurance certificate when you enroll at college or university. If you do not have private insurance that fulfils the requirements mentioned below, it is recommended that you get a German health insurance card.

Please bring with you:

Enrolment certificate (Immatrikulationsbescheinigung) Passport Student ID Card German bank account number

For students who are citizens in the European Union:

If you are from an EU-country and are already covered by public health insurance in your home country, you are entitled to use public medical care in Germany. Your health insurance will cover all occurring costs for medical treatment. If you come from an EU country and are privately insured, you need a certificate from your health insurance company showing that your health insurance fulfils the requirements from 7 Abs. 2 of the Freizugigkeitsverordnung/EG.

These requirements are:

The insurance has to cover costs for medical care for all possible treatments (dentist, hospital, rehabilitation treatment), medicine, drugs, bandages, other medical aid, pregnancy and birth. It is required that your insurance agrees to the fact that there is no limitation on occurring costs.Of course, initially, you have to cover the occurring costs yourself. Due to the fact that these costs can increase very fast, we would like to recommend that you arrange for a contract with a German health insurance company. This would cost you around 79 euros per month. In this way, occurring costs are fully paid by the German health in-surance company.



If you are not a citizen of the European Union:

You need to take out health insurance in Germany. The monthly cost is around 70. If you have health insurance in your home country, you have to bring a certifi cate from your company, which shows that your health insurance will fulfi ll the requirements stated in 7 Abs.2 of the Freiz gigkeitsverordnung/EG.

These requirements are:

The insurance has to cover costs for medical care for all possible treatments (dentist, hospital, rehabilitation treatment), medicine, drugs, bandages, other medical aid, pregnancy and birth. It is required that your insurance agrees to the fact that there is no limitation on the occurring costs.

You have the possibility of joining a German health insurance company during yourstay in Deggendorf. During the Orientation Week students of the DIT will ac-company you and help you sign up for insurance.

II.6 Bank Account

Offi cial payments are made through bank transfers, e.g. rent to your landlord > Therefore it is useful to open a bank account

It will usually take about 30 minutes to open an account. Please bring thefollowing items: Passport or ID-card including visa Proof of enrolment at DIT (if you do not have it yet, you can submit it later)

It is important to mention that you are a student because opening an account and bank transactions are free of charge for students. If you do not let the bank know about your student status, there will be a fee.

The bank will automatically give you an info card with your account number, bank code, phone number and contact person. You also get a cash card, which you can use in Germany and abroad.

The opening of your bank account will be organized during the Orientation Week.

V.2 Bavaria and the Bavarian Language for Beginners

When you hear the name Bavaria, the fi rst thing you often think of is most certainly the Oktoberfest and beer. Well these are both things that Bavarians do very well. In medieval times the country was very poor. Music and dances developed in the small vil-lages. Families sat and sang songs together during the long evenings. That is why there are often very unique village traditions that have lived on until today, like Wolfsaus-treiben in Rinchnach, for example.

In Deggendorf there are traditional music events. Keep your eyes open! You can get to know what the people are like by listening to their music. These traditional events are very interesting and a good place to meet people, and not just other students. Often you can even participate yourself by singing or playing instruments. Some of the old melodies will actually give you goose-
