What can you expect from this course?
“Different countries, different customs.” Many international students experience a kind of ‘culture shock’ during their first extended stay abroad. The better you know the country you want to study in, the quicker you will connections there.
In this introductory course, we want to give you some basic insights into the country and people in your new home. What image do the Germans have of their own country? Is German bureaucracy difficult? What do students in Thuringia do in their leisure time? And how can you overcome not only the inevitable culture shock, but also the language barrier in this new environment?
This course will help you to embrace your new surroundings with joy and curiosity.
More topics coming soon!
You can already find three exciting course modules below and we are continuously working to expand our course offerings.
