Overview of Student Mobility Program

EU and US students are invited to participate in our innovative transatlantic mobility program in the area of “Global IT Project Management” (GlobITPro). Within a one year study program students will gain insights into cultural differences and other specialty topics through a full semester of classes abroad (30 ECTS or 12 US credits) at one consortium university. On each continent both consortium universities are working together to offer a special curriculum in the field of global IT project management to all exchange students for the academic year. Special excursions to key industry players (VW, SAP, 3M, Cargill, Union Pacific, Berkshire Hathaway, and Mutual of Omaha) are embedded through the semester.
