International
The Gerontology in Vechta is connected with institutions of various countries. Amongst others, these countries are Tanzania, Austria, Sweden and the Netherlands.
With our partner universities, we enjoy very close relations. This enables students, PHD-students and lecturers to practice collaboration and mutual exchange, such as a study term or an internship in Tanzania. The concept of a "mobility window" in the gerontological course of study specifically supports a semester abroad.
Tansania
In general, students have the possibility to either study or intern in Tanzania. Suitable time frames can be chosen.
