UROP International


UROP Kolloquium 0709 Gruppenbild mit Logo.JPG Program Description

UROP International is designed for students from North American Universities who wish to gain research experience by conducting research projects at RWTH Aachen University. It takes place during the summer months each year, between May and the end of July.  

UROP International at RWTH Aachen Aachen consists of three elements:

  • the program’s core, a research internship carried out in a research facility or lab at RWTH Aachen University, supervised by excellent academic staff,
  • research-related field trips, an intensive German language course, an intercultural training

and

  • leisure time activities to introduce students to German science, history and culture and get them in contact with German and international students. 

Program dates for 2012 are May 21st through July 27th, 2012. 

During the first two weeks, students will follow an intensive German language course of 20 hrs / week as well as an introduction to research (4 hrs /week). At the same time, the course is an introduction to German culture that familiarizes students with life in Germany through a hands-on approach. Weeks 3 – 10 are settled around a research internship in a department of RWTH Aachen University. Students will continue to learn German twice a week while conducting their internship. Cultural and leisure time activities offered throughout the programme ensure the students’ integration and exposure to German culture and the international community on campus. Upon successful completion of the programme, students receive a certificate, stating the scope and content of their research as well as of the German language course.
