UMD students heading for Germany

This winter break UMass Dartmouth is sending 15 students abroad on international education programs. The majority of them are going to Germany.

UMass Dartmouth has a long standing exchange agreement with the State of Hessen, Germany and its universities. As part of that exchange, UMD students are invited to take part in intersession programs offered by the German universities and taught in English. Students can take a number of different modules, touching upon a number of different subject areas and offered at various times during the summer months, as well as during Winter break.

Students will take part in a 3-week program with two subject tracks to choose from, one being sustainable engineering and the other being German culture. Both groups will take a German language class offered at all levels of proficiency, including no experience with the language. The current Director of International and Exchange Study programs, Heather Makrez, is excited by this great opportunity she is able to present to her students. "With the current economic situation, it is encouraging to know there are still some programs out there that will provide students with the opportunity to achieve that valuable global perspective," Makrez stated.
