Brief Description

High level studies in a familiar atmosphere – that is why students from all over the world choose to study a degree course at the International Institute (IHI) Zittau. The significant ratio of international students leads to an intercultural enrichment. Moreover, the students have a very heterogeneous prior knowledge based on different contents of their previous education. The project Metis addresses the challenges that emerge from this Status quo.
