UNITECH International Scholarship in Germany 2022/23
UNITECH International is a partnership between eight leading European universities and 17 industry partners. The program sets out to expose students to discussions about current issues through a combination of exchange semesters, industry internships, coaching, and workshops. The program also has the added value of funding particularly qualified students, who acquire management skills and practical experience during the stay abroad in addition to further technical skills.
UNITECH is a mobility program. Participation in the program is free once the student is selected. Travel expenses will be covered up to around 1,000 euros.
What is the program structure?
The program is one year. It kicks off with a start-up week in August, which is hosted by a different university every year and is organized as a coaching event. Students then go to their respective host university to spend a semester abroad and to work on a project with an industry partner. Midterm week in January is the transition point between the study abroad and internship. It is also held as a coaching event at one of the nine European universities. After the internship semester the program concludes with an end of year event. This consists of a graduation ceremony where UNITECH participants, who have completed their degree at their home university, celebrate their completion and receive their UNITECH diploma.
For Whom is the Program Intended?
The program ist targeted at RWTH students in engineering, computer science, physics and biotechnology, who can exhibit outstanding academic performance and important soft skills and who are in the master’s or at the end of her Bachelor’s degree (5th / 6th semester).
