Fulda University of Applied Sciences

where I began the master’s program Intercultural Communication and European Studies (ICEUS) in the fall. Although I studied German language during my bachelor’s degree, I had spent a couple of years working as an English teacher in South Korea after graduating, and felt I therefore needed to refresh my German language skills before starting here with my master’s. So, I enrolled in the Pre-Study program and came to Germany a semester early.
As it turned out, the Pre-Study program was exactly what I was looking for. The teachers did a great job of explaining the often confusing details of German grammar to us in a very understandable way. They also gave us lots of tips to help prepare for the DSH language test, which we took at the end of the semester.
Since it had been a couple years from my bachelor’s degree, the Pre-Study subject courses offered a nice transition back into the student life. They also turned out to be quite beneficial for our studies later on, as we were able to get a jump-start on some of the material that we would later be studying in our degree programs.
The best part of Pre-Study, however, were the friendships that we made. Since we spent so much time together in the language classes, we became a tight-knit group and were able to explore Fulda together. And we still remain close even today!

The Bachelor´s programme “International Health Sciences” aims to address health challenges on a global scale, and it does this by looking into a broad range of topics relating to health from both national and international perspectives.

The university lecturers and staff were supportive from the moment we applied, and the interactive learning environment helps to keep everyone engaged!
