Intercultural Competence

Overview

Information regarding COVID-19 pandemic (last updated: 13.04.2020): Unfortunately, the seminar in intercultural competence will not be offered during the summer term. The seminar is highly interactive and requires the attendance of at least 25 students. This minimum number of participants has not been reached this semester, which we ascribe mainly to the current Covid-19 crisis. The course will be offered for IBS students again during the next winter term.
