6th Pan-European FWPM as Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme on the Campus of Aschaffenburg UAS in Germany
From December 2-6, 2024 (plus short online preparational and follow-up activities in the days before and after this period), the English-language FWPM "Blended Total Immersion Week – Advanced Regional and Transversal Skills" will take place for the sixth time as part of the new Erasmus+ programme track "Blended Intensive Programme (BIP)" on the campus of Aschaffenburg UAS in Germany.
Aschaffenburg is also known as the Bavarian Nice for its mild climate and the gateway to the Spessart hills. It is a town that combines tradition and modernity, shopping and culture, a buzzing atmosphere and architectural splendour. The Johannisburg Castle towers above the town and its Christmas market that takes place in the advent season on the castle square. The market includes a Franconian nativity scene with life-sized wooden figures, large Christmas pyramids and nutcrackers. Stands with Christmas decorations, mangers, hand blown glass, and so much more allow a relaxed search for the ideal Christmas gifts.
The FWPM is creditable with 5 ECTS towards the profile "BW/BWR International". A total of five places are available for students from Aschaffenburg UAS. The other participants come from our partner universities in France (Université de Bretagne-Sud), Spain (Universidad Málaga), Finland (Turku UAS) and Sweden (Mid Sweden University). The elective is hosted by one of these European partners in turn each semester and took place for the first time in March 2022 organised by Aschaffenburg UAS.
The motto of the BIP at Aschaffenburg UAS is "Future Skills"; the participants will jointly improve often neglected/underdeveloped future skills and address challenges related to future skills in university teaching as well as in the world of work. During this BIP, students of all fields of business administration will learn more about future skills demanded by companies and have the experience of living the festive pre-Christmas spirit of Aschaffenburg at the same time.
The BIP’s underlying concept of Total Immersion includes a language taster course in German for the visiting students/tandem partnerships with local German students as well as cultural activities like immersing themselves in Bavarian-German culture and taking part in excursions matching the motto – in addition to subject-specific and intercultural content.
If you are at least in the 3rd semester of a Bachelor programme at the Faculty of Business and Law and are interested in this FWPM, you can apply for one of the five places for students of Aschaffenburg UAS exclusively by sending in a letter of motivation in English (1 page, Arial 11p, 1.5 spacing) to the International Office (international-office(at)th-ab.de) AND Prof. Dr. Renate Link (renate.link(at)th-ab.de) by 31 October, 2024.
