"Studying without Language Barriers" (S.o.S.) is a cooperation project of the International House, the Institute of Electrical Measurement and Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering and the Institute of Particle Technology. In the peer-teaching programme, German-speaking students support their international fellow students in their studies. Intercultural learning groups work on the contents of a jointly attended course. Difficulties in understanding the specialist language can be discussed directly. At the same time, working together also trains German as an everyday language, important working methods for studying are taught and contacts between German and international students are established.

You can find more information on the S.o.S. website and the social media profiles:

We are committed to supporting our international students to feel welcome at the university and the city and to help them successfully complete their studies. At the same time, we want to offer our local students the opportunity to get a better understanding of other cultures. Therefore we have developed the SCOUT programme.

In the SCOUT programme we bring together international and German students in tandems. For one semester we offer you a fixed framework programme for intercultural exchange with different individual and group activities. In this way new friendships between different cultures are created and all participants train their intercultural competence.

You can find current information, impressions of the SCOUT programme and personal reports from previous semesters on:
