Our Students Abroad

We believe that doing research in another country, speaking a foreign language on a daily basis and making new contacts is a great opportunity for our students. Through our well established research contacts world wide we offer exceptional students in our course the chance go abroad and work with leading research groups and interesting companies. When students do their project or diploma thesis abroad we supervise them jointly with a researcher at the foreign institution.
