The SCOUT programme brings German and international students together in language pairs. Over the course of a semester, they meet regularly and complete a programme of individual and group activities that foster intercultural exchange. The goal is to strengthen the intercultural skills of both groups, with international students integrated more fully into the everyday life of a German university and German students enjoying the opportunity to connect with a variety of cultures right on their doorstep. The programme is interdisciplinary, and open to all students at the TU Braunschweig.
