    Pre Departure:

    My exchange programme took me to a small town 50 minutes away from Frankfurt, namely Wiesbaden in Germany. Given that my course was focused on Transnational Commercial Law, it was apt that we were a group of 40 students from different parts around the world. My exchange experience, thus, does not only leave me a bit more clued up on commercial law in a cross-border context, but also with amazing memories and cultural insights. With too much to share, I guess it would be best for me to start at the beginning – that is preparation! Hopefully some of what I mention here will be of help to you!

This is simply my story and what I have learnt.

    Experience at the Host University (UNIVERSITÄT HAMBURG) 

    I arrived Hamburg 1st October, 2016, went to the university, and later on Peutestrasse, 25, where I spent the five (5) month period. The distinction is while registering at Stellenbosch University is speedy and somewhat stress-free, my experience at Hamburg was on the contrary. The encounter, I understand, had to do with the inability to register online from here. The students who had been able to register before arriving Hamburg had a smooth sail whilst ours was a bit bumpy at the start. Even so, the process was sorted within weeks and regular academic life commenced.
