Campus GATE - German Applied Transnational Education
Our Campus GATE serves as the interface between the universities.
The Campus GATE enables students to complete part of their studies in Germany and another part in a partner country. This transnational educational journey not only gives students the opportunity to experience two different academic environments, but also to appreciate cultural diversity and develop intercultural skills.
We provide specialist advice and support services to ensure that transitions between study locations run smoothly, and that students have the best possible experience throughout their studies.
We offer on-site support to help students navigating both countries and focusing on their study goals. Throughout the programme, we collaborate closely with the partner universities to ensure that the course content is harmonized and that students receive full recognition of their achievements in both countries.
Internships and project work in companies and organisations are integrated both in Germany and the partner country. This allows students to connect theoretical knowledge with practical experience in various professional environments, preparing them for the international job market.
Our hosted programmes create a platform for the education of global citizens who not only have specialist knowledge, but also the skills and perspectives to be successful in an increasingly connected world. We are proud to offer our students the opportunity to see the world as their campus and receive an education that transcends national borders.
