Minor Programme

Crossing Borders

Together with students from the University of Twente, international (exchange) students will – after the plenary phase (first five weeks) – work on an international project with a foreign partner organisation. Students will be based at the University of Twente (UT), thus experiencing an international learning environment. To communicate with the international partner they will make use of Skype/email/phone (hence the term ‘virtual’). The project work requires students to solve a practical problem (linked to one of the International Grand Challenges) proposed by an organisation located outside Europe.
