Unique opportunity for RWTH students
Volunteer and experience an amazing time full of cultural and fun activities! Spend intensive two, three or four weeks with our international students.
The Mentoring Program of RWTH International Academy – in cooperation with RWTH International Office – is a unique opportunity for RWTH students to build an international network and develop intercultural skills. Get ready for an unforgettable experience full of cultural and fun activities and become a mentor for our on-campus or online programs! In contrast to the International Office's BeBuddy program, our mentors spend a rather short, but especially intensive two, three or four weeks with one group of students they accompany.
At the end of each Short Course, RWTH International Academy awards all mentors an official participation certificate for their efforts and support.
As a Mentor to this course, it was a pleasure to show the participants all around Aachen, get together for fun events and talk to them about everything and anything. Starting from the city rally, where we explored more of the cultural aspects of Aachen, during the hike to the boarder tripoint where we challenged the labyrinth, or the karaoke evening at the bar where we rocked the place together, and the chill barbecue with a stunningly close football match! Thank you RWTH Short Courses for having me and for making it so much fun!
