For universities & international offices

Help international students start with confidence.

Studying in Germany should feel exciting, not overwhelming. WTE Companion gives international students a clear path through the essentials, from insurance and banking to SIM setup and arrival preparation, so your team receives fewer repetitive questions before the semester begins.

Key takeaways for international offices

Quiet inboxes. Ready students.

Three ways we lighten the load before students land — so your team can focus on the cases that actually need a human.

Quiet inboxes

We intercept repetitive questions by giving students a clear, step-by-step relocation roadmap — so advisors are not the first port of call for every basic setup question.

The four essentials sorted

Students arrive ready for daily life, with health insurance, private liability, banking, and a SIM active when they need them — not after weeks of chasing.

Housing preparation

We help structure their approach to the German student housing market — so fewer panicked threads and fewer missed steps before the semester clock starts.

The difference

Clear the confusion before the semester starts.

Studying abroad is an adventure of its own. There is no need to pile complex administrative hurdles on top. Your incoming tech, engineering, and business students need structure, and your advisors need their time back.

Today

The pre-semester chaos.

The crucial first weeks get lost in noise — for students and for your international office alike.

  1. Housing & setup

    Advisors spend hours answering the same frantic emails about basic setup and finding student housing.

  2. Insurance & deadlines

    The crucial first weeks are lost as confused students miss registration deadlines or insurance forms.

  3. Bank & SIM

    Endless queues to set up banking and mobile contracts after arriving in Germany.

The smarter way

The WTE Companion solution.

Same essentials and housing prep — structured in-app before they land. Advisors keep the time; students keep the calm.

  1. Housing & setup

    Students get structured, step-by-step guidance on securing accommodation and essentials in-app.

  2. Insurance & deadlines

    Proactive reminders help health and private liability insurance get sorted before arrival.

  3. Bank & SIM

    Financial and communication basics are sorted directly via their smartphone.

Why it matters

Support the student, not just the process.

Your students are navigating a new country, a new academic system, and often living independently for the first time. By providing WTE Companion, you offer a digital safety net that gently guides them through the chaos. That lifts the heavy lifting from your team and lets your international office stay focused on the students who actually need specialised, personal support.

WTE Companion provides administrative and organisational support to simplify relocation, but does not offer formal legal or tax advisory services.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How does WTE Companion integrate with our onboarding process?

It complements your existing workflow without requiring any complex IT implementation. Most partners simply invite their incoming cohort to download the app. You can then monitor their relocation progress via our secure Partner Portal.

Do you support hiring skilled workers and Azubis (trainees) from abroad?

Yes. We work with employers recruiting skilled workers and dual-system trainees (Azubis) from outside the EU. We help structure the process from initial preparation right through to post-arrival essentials.

How is WTE Companion different from a traditional relocation agency?

We automate the high-volume, administrative heavy lifting. While traditional agencies often focus on high-touch, manual support (like accompanying candidates to view apartments), we instantly handle the digital setup of the four core essentials: health insurance, private liability insurance, banking, and SIM cards. In fact, many agencies partner with us to handle this paperwork so they can focus on personal consulting.

Do we need a formal contract to recommend the app?

No. You can start recommending the publicly available app to your candidates or students immediately, completely free of charge. A formal partnership is only required if you want access to the Partner Portal for progress tracking or tailored onboarding flows.

Is WTE Companion GDPR-compliant?

Absolutely. We are headquartered in Hamburg, and all data is encrypted and processed strictly within the EU. Every user retains full ownership and control over their account and uploaded documents at all times.
