Study Tours

A Study Tour is an organized educational trip that allows students to explore other countries and cultures while deepening their subject-specific knowledge. These tailor-made excursions combine theory and practice by including visits to companies, universities, research institutions, and cultural sites. Participants are accompanied by experienced professors and tour guides. Study Tours thus create an intensive learning environment with diverse insights into specific industries and academic fields.

Since 2012, the Faculties of Business and Engineering have been regularly organizing joint, often interdisciplinary Study Tours to partner universities around the world. The goal is to strengthen international collaborations and provide students with a hands-on, global learning experience.

Study Tours broaden the academic horizons of participants and promote intercultural skills as well as international networks. On-site experiences provide valuable inspiration for both personal and academic development. Additionally, students can earn 2.5 ECTS credits for practical transfer competence (PTK) by participating in a Study Tour.
