Subject specific counselling by the faculty
For each of our partnerships, there is one person in the IO who is responsible for organisational support and one person in the faculties who is responsible for subject-related support (Departmental Coordinator). If you would like specific subject-related information about a partner university, please make an appointment with the Departmental Coordinator. You can see who is responsible for which cooperation in our partner university portal .
