Certificate "Intercultural.Competent.Committed"

Studying at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar means working, researching and living with others in a highly diverse, extremely intercultural environment. Many of our students get involved alongside their studies in helping to integrate international students and refugees. They complete international degree programmes, attend additional language courses, study abroad and take advantage of intercultural courses to gain additional qualifications. 

The International Office awards the Intercultural Competence Committed certificate to recognise this extracurricular, intercultural and international commitment, and to certify the acquisition of intercultural competence.

The Intercultural.Competent.Committed certificate comprises several components:
