Short-term stays / internationalisation at home
If you are unable to spend a longer period abroad for specific reasons or have less time available, take the opportunity to go abroad for a shorter period. You may also want to gather some impressions first before deciding on a longer stay abroad. You have the following options for this:
Language courses and summer schools (in German)
Funding opportunities from the International Office
Or get a taste of "international air" right here in Oldenburg. Help internationals find their way around Oldenburg, take part in the language café, join a language tandem or simply enjoy the summer at the International Summer Fest - it's all about creating connections between international and local students.
