This course helps the student to understand the divergence in order to be able to accommodate to a new environment without experiencing a culture shock, which could lead to a decreasing study performance. Therefore, a special course of 20 hours in Intercultural Communication is offered by the Mercator Office to give insights to the students about cultural differences between Asian and Western countries, whilst focusing on German culture. With this combination, students are well prepared to enter the German education system and cultural environment. Through this project, the following categories of international students will benefit from the FREE ONLINE courses offered:

• Use-ISE Bachelor Students
• UI-UDE Dual Degree & Exchange Students
• UKM-UDE Dual Degree Students
