Furthermore, we invite you to numerous guest and practical lectures this semester. You can find all current events on our website or on Instagram as soon as the dates are fixed. As in previous semesters, they promise an exciting insight into adult education and lifelong learning and cover a wide range of topics.

We also warmly welcome the students of the new master's program “Adult Education and Management in Lifelong Education” and wish them an informative semester. Further information on the new master's program can be found here. 

Bachelor's and Master's students as well as doctoral candidates also have the opportunity to spend a semester abroad at one of our partner universities and can apply for a scholarship to do so. There is also the opportunity to complete internships abroad at DVV International and its partner institutions in Georgia. Further information can be found under "Study and internship abroad".
