Since 2006, the Department of English has led the way at the Faculty of Arts on overseas student exchange programmes. Currently it has two exchange programmes under which each year, 4-6 students of the Department of English travel to Germany for a semester’s study abroad at either Justus Liebig University, Giessen, or Technische Universität Dresden. At the same time, students from these two German universities follow a semester of study at the Department of English. These exchange programmes offer students of both countries the opportunity to travel overseas, take new courses and build friendships with each other.
