FIT without Borders

Goals & Target Groups

The measures of the project are primarily aimed at the academic success and labor market integration of international students. To this end, students are supported as early as the study orientation phase and are guided to academic success and the job market during the course of their studies with advisory services and special courses.

The establishment and maintenance of an internal and external university network will contribute to the success of these offers – the former primarily between administration and faculties, the latter with players relevant to the labor market. This network provides RUB students with a concrete perspective for career options after graduation and thus supports a motivated course of study.

Participants

The project is carried out in close cooperation between the International Office and Student Lifecycle Services.
