Case Study: Living and Studying in Germany as an International Student

A chapter in Handbook of Applied Teaching and Learning, 2018, pp 107-108 from German African University Partnership Platform for the Development of Entrepreneurs and Small/Medium Enterprises

Abstract: German African Universities Program (GAUP) is a partnership of three universities encompassing Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg, University of Applied Sciences in Germany, University of Nairobi in Kenya, and University of Cape Coast in Ghana. Every year, a number of students from each university are competitively selected to take part in the exchange program in a foreign country for three months in the sponsored project. I participated in the exchange program in Germany during the winter semester 2016/2017. The experience was excellent and the benefits cannot be underestimated. The objective was to integrate with the university community in Germany and learn first-hand from their teaching approaches and experiences by attending classes and interacting in- and outside the classroom. It provided an opportunity for cross-cultural learning, hence preparing us to live and work in different parts of the world. Besides the classroom experience, learning was reinforced by exposure tours in the industry including the Coal mine industrial complex in Essen (UNESCO world heritage since 2001) and Rheinbach. - Published in: Brautlacht, Agyapong, Owino (Eds.): Handbook of Applied Teaching and Learning, pp. 107-108
