FIT for Campus - Master your studies!

Starting out as an international student at Fachhochschule Dortmund can be challenging: a new environment, being on your own abroad for the first time, many questions, a new language of instruction, and so on. In this workshop, you’ll discuss exactly these topics and work with other students and the SQuArE startup advisory service to develop creative and practical solutions for typical initial challenges.
