Being a student with kulturstudier

Study with enthusiasm!

At Kulturstudier we give priority to benefiting fully from working in small groups where we get to know each other well. This makes it easier for students to ask questions and to request explanation and guidance when the syllabus literature presents problems or when they have difficulty in writing assignments.

As a student with Kulturstudier you will find that academic discussions can just as easy take place across the table in a café in the evening as in the lecture room or seminar group.

We have certain expectations of you as one of our students. Kulturstudier ’s teaching programmes are based on learning through dialogue – a method that requires students to be proactive in their own learning process. We provide the opportunity for close cooperation between students and lecturers/tutors and among the students themselves. This means that we expect you as a student to make a positive contribution in seminar groups and in other group work.

In return you will experience a rich and active learning environment that is characterised by a common interest in the subject and the culture, and where the distance between student and teacher is smaller than we are used to from auditoriums and classrooms at home.

The very unique environments that surround us in Pondicherry, Cape Coast, Hoi An, León and Buenos Aires have an inspiring effect on students and help to clarify the literary information that is presented. By means of trips and excursions our skilled teachers integrate examples from the area into the theory that is being taught, thus helping to make the subject alive and relevant.

In Kulturstudier we know from experience that such study activities result in particularly good academic results as well as providing new friends and the experience of another culture.
