IWU participants will benefit from this technical knowledge when they participate in the following English-taught seminar, offered by experts from the respective departments at the University of Kassel:
Environmental Engineering – Renewable Energy Sources

In addition to the academic seminars in the respective disciplines, all students attend intensive German language courses. These courses are offered at three different levels (from beginners to advanced).
