Interdisciplinary course offer for (international) students
Each semester, the international office and the language centre offer, with the support of cooperation partners and associate lecturers, a number of interdisciplinary, English-taught courses for (international) students at Osnabrück University. These courses provide a unique opportunity for intercultural (learning) experiences on a variety of topics.
You can find more information on Stud.IP and on the Language Center website.
Here you will find an overview of the regular course offerings:
Intercultural competence is the ability of successful communication with people of other cultures. Intercultural communication serves a vital role in forestalling
miscommunication and misunderstanding, in coping with intercultural situations, in breaking down barriers and in understanding of cultural conditioning.
The lecture is aimed at understanding of cross-cultural dynamics, cultural dimensions and structures. (4/6 ECTS)
Civil society is an important cornerstone of democracy and at the same time offers diverse and low-threshold opportunities to actively shape it. The seminar provides an overview of the functioning, framework conditions and actors of German and Osnabrück civil society. They learn the basics of project and event management as well as the conception of educational programmes. (4 ECTS)
The aim of this course is to plan and put into practice a Language Café in the Studierendenzentrum (student activity centre) at Osnabrück University throughout the current semester. This course specifically addresses international students at UOS who are interested in passing on their first languages to other (local) students (3 ECTS)
