AiB is a place of encounter and exchange. We bring people and cultures together, enter into dialogue, and gain new perspectives. With our programs we want students to engage with knowledge through their own experiences, and to foster their personal development through their encounters with themselves, with others, and with the unknown. We create connections to local initiatives, regional projects and to discourses in society, and mobilize resources and competencies to pursue creative solutions in a complex world. We foster a lively community through interdisciplinary exchange with learners and teachers.
Programs that transform.
Our programs are academically aligned with the curriculum of your home university. The programs allow you to spend a semester or summer abroad and still graduate on time. You can choose from a wide selection of core and elective courses, all taught in English. The lecturers are experts in their respective fields and have many years of teaching experience. In our programs we place great emphasis on project-based, transformative learning. Course-related study trips, workshops and real-world projects provide in-depth access to topics and cultures. Each program has a dedicated AiB program coordinator who also serves as an intercultural mentor.
