The session will leave room for discussion and interaction.
Languages for Specific Target Groups
This session will give an insight into how our language programs cater for different target groups that all have their individual characteristics. Intensive linguistic and study preparation for refugees will be presented as well as our very popular German intensive courses for newly arriving exchange students. Last but not least we will share good practice from some of our emerging formats for university staff. Of course there will be room for discussion and interaction.
Mobility Track
New concepts for exchange programs
Student Mobility has undergone a significant change during the last decade: Accredited mobility has become a key spot for students, short stays abroad like summer schools and (research) internships have become more and more popular, one year abroad a rarity. In this session we would like to show and discuss how International Offices can face the challenges.
