I.DEAR for engineering students (Argentina)

    The I.DEAR Programme

    Study and internship stays in Argentina

    The I.DEAR Programme is a bilateral programme established by the "Deutsch-Argentinischen Hochschulzentrum" (DAHZ-CUAA) for the promotion of exchange projects between Germany and Argentina in the field of engineering.

    Goals

    The programme aims at strengthening the collaboration between German and Argentinian universities in the field of engineering through the exchange of students and researchers alike. This is supposed to create new impulses for teaching, research and technological innovation in both countries. The intercultural and mulitlingual framework of the I.DEAR-programme prepares future professionals for the both the European and international and Latin American labour markets.

    A key prerequisite for participating in the programme is the mutual recognition of courses and exams at the respective partner institutions

    Target Group

    Students of the Bachelor's and Master's programmes of the following faculties:

    • Faculty of Process and Systems Technology
    • Faculty of Mechanical Engineering
    • Faculty of Computer Science
    • Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology

    What does the programme look like?

    We will support a 10-month stay at our partner university Universidad Nacional del Sur in Bahia Blanca, Argentina, that combines a study and an internship phase. The 10-month stay consists of a 5-month semester at the partner university and a consecutive specialised industrial internship of 4 to 5 months in a firm in the host country.

    Prerequisites for OVGU Students

    • At programme start, Bachelor students must have accomplished their 5th semester, at minimum. Master students can apply throughout their graduate studies, or before the end of Bachelor studies.
    • Application deadlines:
    • Spanish language skills: minimum of accomplished A2 level at time of application. A B1 certificate must be presented before programme start date. Our Argentinian partner institution offers consecutive B1+ Spanish language courses during their study semester.
