3) Re-Enrolment for the Summer Semester of 2019

The re-enrolment period for the upcoming summer semester ends on March 1, 2019. Please pay your fees on time, so that the due amount is credited to the bank account of RWTH Aachen University by March 1, 2019 at the latest.

4) 2-days workshop on intercultural communication – Register now

The workshop is intended for German and international students who wish to embark upon a study abroad period, who are active in international student organizations, or who would simply like to improve their communication skills. During the two days, students are given the opportunity to develop their intercultural competence, a skills set which becomes ever more useful for all professional activities and which is thus looked for by prospective employers. As the seminar is held in English, you will also improve your English language proficiency. Therefore you should bring a basic knowledge of English so as to be able to participate in discussions and group activities. "Perfect" English, however, is by no means required!

The workshop is held by Alexia Petersen, a Canadian with multicultural background who has lived in Aachen for many years. Ms. Petersen is a highly experienced trainer and consultant in intercultural communication, working with various target groups in both universities and research institutions, and international companies.

Here are the available dates for 2019.

Language: English

Location: You will get the information after the registration

Registration: The number of the participants for each date is limited. Please send an email to (Ms.) Dominika Dudzik Dominika.Dudzik@zhv.rwth-aachen.de

5) Become a host for the AISA Home-Buddy Program this summer semester

AISA (Association of Indian Students in Aachen) is looking for you if you want to support new international students with a temporary accommodation. It's an amazing opportunity for the people staying in Aachen to become one of the hosts for the students arriving in March/ April to start their summer semester at RWTH Aachen/ FH Aachen. As we all know how difficult it was to find accommodation in our early days in Aachen, let's mitigate this for the incoming students. This is, of course, only a temporary provision, aimed at helping students as they set foot in Aachen and look for long term accommodation. Join The Home-Buddy Program as hosts and lets spread some goodwill and make the new students feel most welcome in Deutschland!😊

Moreover, the Home-Buddy Program counts as a component of the Zertifikat-Internationales RWTH (Group 1), under the RWTH Aachen University - International Office

Please fill the google doc provided below and you will find more details about the Home-Buddy program enclosed.
