KOSPIE India Group 2021-22
In the winter semester 2021/22, 11 scholarship holders from the renowned IITs came to the TU Dresden. From September to October 2021, the scholarship holders first learned the basics of the German language in an online language course from TUDIAS. In November they finally arrived in Germany.
This year they were acompanied by our tutor Jonathan Nestman. Despite the corona restrictions during the winter semester, they could enjoy some nice activities as a group. Ice skating, visiting the Transparent Factory of Volkswagen here in Dresden and climbing the dome of Dresden's Frauenkirche were particularly popular.
We wish them all every success for their further studies.
This is what former Students had to say:
"Germany is one of the best countries to conduct research due to its international student friendly environment and better research opportunities. One of my most memorable expereince was a group event by DAAD during christmas. It helped us in making new friends. The support from the coordinators were absolutely remarkable and wonderful. Throughout the journey we were well supported and were accurately informed regarding the formalities and important documentations. My advice for the future KOSPIE candidates would be to learn German language basics very well and with utmost dedication since it will help so much for a happy and a fruitful stay here."
