Grenzenlos 2012
A lot of students would like to spend time abroad. If you are one of them and are wondering how to go about this in the best way, why not come along to the event Grenzenlos 2012 - the international days at RUB.
Information stands in the Mensa foyer
On 7 and 8 November 2012, the International Office and the Careers Service will be present in the Mensa foyer between 11:00am and 3:00pm to provide RUB students with information about the many different ways of spending time abroad. International students studying at RUB, representatives from partner universities, the ERASMUS Student Network (ESN) and RUB students who have already spent time abroad will be there to talk about their experiences, either at the information stands or in the form of presentations. The University Language Centre (Zentrum für Fremdsprachenausbildung, ZFA) and the Bochum Institute of Intensive Language Training (Landesspracheninstitut, LSI) will introduce their programmes for the different language courses. The student-run organisations AIESEC and IAESTE and the Department for International Placement Services from the Federal Employment Agency will also be present to tell you all you need to know about carrying out internships and working abroad.
Representatives from the United Nations Organisation (UNO) will talk to you about careers in international companies. The coordinator of the ConRuhr offices in Latin America, Dr. Stephan Hollensteiner, will inform you about studying in Brazil. AKAFÖ Student Services will take care of the creature comforts and University Sports Bochum will organise the cultural event programme.
Visit from the Brazilian ambassador to Germany
Dr. Everton Vieira Vargas, Brazilian ambassador to Germany, will be coming to RUB on Wednesday 7 November to celebrate Grenzenlos. He will give a presentation in German on the topic of "Brazil and Germany – academic exchange and collaboration." The presentation will be held in lecture theatre HZO 80 at 4:00pm and will last one hour.
The ambassador will also greet the first 70 Brazilian scholarship holders from the government programme "Ciencias sem fronteiras – Academics Without Limits" who began studying at UAMR in the Winter Semester. Everyone who is interested is welcome to come along to the presentation!
My ERASMUS
On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of ERASMUS, the European Union's exchange programme, RUB students share their favourite ERASMUS moments. The photos of this exibition were submitted by students, who went to study abroad and by international students who came to study at RUB.
