Intercultural competences become increasingly important with the progress of globalization. Therefore, the University of Applied Sciences Bremerhaven offers its students many opportunities to acquire additional skills. It could be through language courses, international joint seminars or a stay abroad at one of the numerous partner universities.
There are many reasons for a study-related stay abroad:
- You can broadens your professional and personal horizon,
- increase linguistic and intercultural competences,
- proves flexibility and independence,
- get to know new methods of learning and teaching and
- receive insights into other corporate structures.
Hence, the argument that it is a "loss of time" is invalid.
In many degree programs, a semester abroad is already compulsory, however a stay abroad can also be well integrated in any other study course. It has proved that the success of a stay abroad is linked heavily to an early and solid preparation.
