Intercultural Trainings
Due to the gloablization of the economy and job market, evidence of intercultural communication skills have been significant for a long time in the "soft skills" catalogue, that human resources managers gladly see or even sometimes expect.
RWTH Aachen regularly offers basic and special workshops on the topic "intercultural training". With regard to study abroad, it is definitely highly recommended to get information about the spectrum of cultures and your own and others' cultural standards.
If one possesses certain basic knowledge about this topic, one communicates more successfully with people from all over the world!
Meet International Students
Almost every fifth student at RWTH Aachen comes from abroad. There are many opportunities to get to know fellow students from all over the world and to communicate with them.
The Humboldt Haus, Pontstraße 41, is the RWTH Aache international meeting center. Not only is a branch of the International Office here, but INCAS (INtercultural Center of Aachen Students) and other international student organizations are as well.
There is an interesting and diverse international program in the Humboldt Haus. INCAS will gladly set you up with a tandem partner if you would like to expand your language skills. Through the International Ofice Be Buddy program, you can act as buddy for a newly enrolled student from abroad and thus create new friendships with international students.
