UROP International in Aachen consist of three elements: the programme’s core, a research internship carried out in a research facility or lab at RWTH Aachen University, supervised by academic staff, research-related field trips, an intensive German language course, and leisure time activities to introduce students to German science, history and culture and get them in contact with German and international students.
Programme dates for 2010 are 24 May through 30 July, 2010. 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 familiarises 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.
Programme application deadline is the 31st of January each year. All application documents have to be handed in at that date.
