International Projects
There is a variety of international projects (bilateral, more partners, abroad and at KISD, in Europe or outside of Europe, short or midterm) in different areas of expertise offered each semester.
International Exchange Projects are a special format in which students experience intensive cooperation in a bilateral exchange with a partner university. The topics of these cooperation projects are located in both institutions and also address intercultural aspects. They are chosen in a way that they can be worked on in both countries.
Virtual or blended Mobilities
Virtual or blended mobilities and collaborations are offered regularly. They provide students with the opportunity to gain international experience without travelling or to get to know the collaboration partners before travelling and to work together on content.
Seasonal Schools
Seasonal Schools bring together students and faculties for a seasonal event. Usually, there are multiple partner institutions involved.
