General Academic SkillsBereich öffnenBereich schließen

Since we are a truly international programme with participants from all over the world, many of whom have different educational backgrounds, we have identified two skills of major importance for studying and building a career in Germany. These skills are taught in a workshop that will take place during the programme.

Presentation workshop:
The participant will learn how to structure a presentation and get the attention and curiosity of the audience. Furthermore, this workshop will explain and show the standards of presentations in Germany.

Intercultural communication workshop:
This workshop will teach the different study culture of Germany. The teacher will compare the culture in Germany to the culture of origin, which is helpful to understand the difference. The aim is to help students understand their environment better and strengthen the integration of the participants.
