Tübingen students, here is your chance - Explore current European topics together with students from Japan

We are looking for students here at the University of Tübingen to join our tailor-made program free of charge. 

We would like our students from Japan to experience classes involving other Tübingen students.

The Doshisha EU Campus European Studies Program is a tailor-made program offered by Doshisha University, one of the oldest and most respected universities in Japan, located in Kyoto, in cooperation with University of Tübingen's "Tübingen International & European Studies" (T-IES) program.

The aim of the program is to provide Doshisha undergraduate students a 5-month study abroad experience at the University of Tübingen and to complement and enrich their course of study with seminars focusing on Europe and the European Union. Courses will be taught by Doshisha University faculty (taught in Japanese) and the University of Tübingen faculty (taught completely in English) including field works free of charge (except €50 for field trip to Berlin). 

The program is open to up to 5 undergraduate students per class (on a first-come, first-served basis).

Buddy Program

To support our students from Japan during their stay in Tübingen and to promote an intercultural exchange we have set up a Buddy Program in which a student of the University of Tübingen teams up with an T-IES participant. The Buddy Program aims to initiate a cultural exchange between international students and the Tübingen students, to expand one’s own cultural horizon, as well as the strengthening of intercultural skills and competences. The Buddy Program will allow our students to get to know German student life first-hand and to make friends. More here.

Tübingen Students of Japanese Studies

Students of Japanese Studies at the University of Tübingen can participate in the T-IES "Buddy Program" in which Tübingen and Doshisha students can interact and get to know each other. Please write to us at tiesspam prevention@uni-tuebingen.de
