Through DAAD\u2019s HAW.International, Karlshochschule International University will launch a \u201cLatin America\u201d certificate that strengthens its global profile\u2014offering language courses, regional modules, study-abroad and internship options, co-supervised theses, and an online summer school with partner universities in Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, and Peru. Here is the press release of the DAAD<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karlshochschule International University is receiving funding under the DAAD program HAW.International to establish the new certificate program \u201cLatin America.\u201d This will further expand the university\u2019s long-standing international orientation and specifically deepen its academic ties with the Latin American region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since its founding, Karlshochschule has seen itself as an internationally networked and socially engaged university. Students from over 60 countries, English-taught Bachelor\u2019s and Master\u2019s programs, and close cooperation with partner universities worldwide shape its profile. The funded project builds on this development and broadens the international study offering with a new regional focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bridge between Europe and Latin America<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cLatin America\u201d certificate program combines academic teaching, research, and practice in an innovative way. In cooperation with universities in Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, and Peru, students will in future acquire language, intercultural, and subject-specific competencies related to the region\u2014summarized by the university under the term \u201cintercultural & inclusive capabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the certificate, we want to offer students\u2014who may not yet know whether they want to work for a company or a non-profit organization but who are enthusiastic about Latin America\u2014the opportunity to work, for example, in Argentina, Mexico, or Costa Rica and become experts on a region. This intercultural competence will remain highly attractive to many internationally operating employers in the future,\u201d says Prof. Dr. Dr. Bj\u00f6rn Bohnenkamp, Vice President of Karlshochschule and Professor of Marketing, Media & Consumer Culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program includes, among other things, language courses, subject-specific modules on economic and societal topics in Latin America, selected study-abroad semesters and internships, international theses with Latin American co-supervision, as well as a joint online summer school, \u201cEntrepreneurship & Leadership,\u201d with students and faculty from Germany and Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA strategic step toward global networking\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the Latin America certificate program, we are placing a clear focus on a region that is becoming increasingly important for global collaboration, innovation, and social change,\u201d explains Lisa Wiedeman, project lead at Karlshochschule. \u201cThe program exemplifies our commitment to approaching education internationally, interdisciplinarily, and with strong practical relevance\u2014and to giving students the opportunity to develop perspectives beyond national borders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
