Developing international talent “Studienwege International – Göttingen MINT Journey for Internationals” means our Uni can recruit students to degree programmes in Chemistry and Physics (taught in German) and support them in a specially tailored Semester Zero: www.uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html...

This is to illustrate a newly funded initiative with a preparatory “Semester zero”, to give students a thorough grounding in German language and organizational issues even before they start their degree programme.
