Hessen Germany Hessen Germany Hessen is a German state in the heart of Europe. In addition to excellent study and research opportunities at some of Germany's leading universities, Hessen has a diverse and picturesque countryside, is full of culture and history and at the same time vibrant and modern. Half-timbered houses, medieval churches and castles of your childhood fairytales contrast modern cosmopolitan cities like Frankfurt, Hessen's major international financial and logistics hub. Originally this was a Hessen-Queensland Program where Queensland students were offered the opportunity to study at a university in Hessen for one or two semesters. Now this open to all ACU students regardless of the state you live in. The students gain experience in studying and living in Germany and have the chance to give their studies a European dimension. Courses held at Hessen state universities are free of charge for Hessen and international students except of fees for welfare services and regional public transportation (Semesterticket). The program does not cover travel, visa, medical and living expenses in Germany. The objective of the Hessen Program is to foster collaboration between institutions of higher education in both states. The intention is now to promote the exchange of students and staff between Australia and Hessen. It is supported by the Ministry for Education, Queensland Government and the Ministry for Higher Education Research, and the Arts, Hessen Government.

Programme duration 3 semesters Beginning Winter and summer semester Application deadline Students without a German degree: Winter semester: 31 July Summer semester: 15 January Students with a German degree: Winter semester: 1 September Summer semester: 1 March Tuition fees per semester in None EUR Combined Master's degree / No PhD programme Joint degree / double degree No programme Description/content The Master's programme in Economic Behaviour and Governance (EB&Go) emphasises the main research areas of the faculty at the Institute of Economics. The objective is to provide students with profound knowledge in behavioural economics with a strong focus on applied research questions. We introduce students to advanced theories in the field of behavioural economics and governance and to advanced empirical methods. Furthermore, we train them to apply these theories and methods to analyse important problems in contemporary economic policy. The graduates have a broad range of job opportunities, including careers in government and public administration, supranational organisations, multinational firms, research, and higher education. Given the large number of courses held in English and the opportunity to write the Master's thesis in English, the Master's programme can be taught completely in English. However, German- speaking students can acquire up to two-thirds of the credits in German. 2 Course Details Course organisation The programme lasts for three semesters during which the students complete 11 modules and a Master's thesis.

The grant program serves the personal sponsorship of the students. Supported students receive the possibil- ity to gather own life and work experiences in the development and tropic-oriented re- search in the target region. Students have to apply for sponsorship. The supported thesis must include a contribution to the UN Millennium Developments Goals, in particular for the abatement against hunger, poverty and /or their impacts (sponsorship purpose). This is to be stated in the applica- tion. Thereby project suggestions on basis of ecological agriculture principals serving sus- tainable solutions are of special interest. A stay abroad must be justified exclusively by the preparation of the thesis. Grants are not intended for the participation in lectures of a for- eign university. The sponsorship covers the travel costs to the assignment location (usually airfare), a subsidy to the residence costs as well as a subsidy to the costs of a travel health insur- ance of the period of the stay abroad. Not to be promoted are non-personnel costs or local travel and transport costs. Das DITSL Witzenhausen führt Aus- und Weiterbildungsprogramme für Studierende, Wissenschaftler und Fach- und Führungskräfte aus den Ländern des Südens durch und engagiert sich in der tropen- und entwicklungsorientierten angewandten Forschung und Technologieentwick- lung mit Schwerpunkt in den Themenfeldern umweltgerechte Landnutzung, Landwirtschaft, Ernährungssicherung, Nahrungsmittelsicherheit.

  • Memory of the World
    MEMORY OF THE WORLD Kinder- und Hausmärchen (Children’s and Household Tales) (Germany) REF N° 2004-10 revised version of July 2011 SUMMARY The “Kinder- und Hausmärchen” (Children’s and Household Tales; hereafter CHT) of the Brothers Grimm are, next to the Luther Bible, the most well-known and the most widely distributed book that has emerged in the course of German cultural history. It is, at once, the first systematic compilation of any fairy tale tradition undertaken in the European or Oriental realm as well as the first scholarly documentation of such a tradition. Translations exist in over 160 languages and cultural dialects from all continents. The Grimms’ great work is like a concave mirror that captures a fairy tale tradition shaped by several cultures, compiles it in a new form, and reflects it in such a way that a new tradition emerges which subsequently unfolds with worldwide impact. The global distribution of the Grimm fairy tales is also a demonstration of their exemplary character, which, rooted in German romanticism, takes up the poetry of the human imagination and sets it down in a universally valid form. The uniqueness and global impact of this collection may be ascribed to the fact that the Brothers Grimm, in their literary encoding of a pre-literary tradition, moved beyond the German and European frame of reference and created a universal pattern for the cross-cultural fairy tale tradition. The most significant preserved historical source documenting the origins and effect of the Grimms’ fairy tales are the Annotated Reference Copies of the CHT, the so-called Kassel Handexemplare.

    Table of Contents Master's degree 2 Nanoscience (MSc) • University of Kassel • Kassel 2 1 Master's degree Nanoscience (MSc) University of Kassel • Kassel Overview Degree Master of Science Teaching language English German Languages Courses are generally held in English. Some elective modules and required modules from the Bachelor's curriculum are taught in German. Programme duration 4 semesters Beginning Winter and summer semester Application deadline International students: 31 July for the winter semester, 15 January for the summer semester Tuition fees per semester in None EUR Combined Master's degree / No PhD programme Joint degree / double degree No programme Description/content The Nanoscience consecutive study programme expands the knowledge and skills obtained in a corresponding Bachelor's degree programme towards deeper theoretical understanding and practical applications of nanoscale phenomena. Embedded in state-of-the-art research, students apply interdisciplinary approaches based on physics, chemistry, and biology to special research areas of nanoscience such as materials chemistry, nanoelectronics, and photonics or advanced molecular biology. By planning and conducting experiments and presenting the results in written and oral form, students develop their skills in scientific practice. They obtain competencies highly beneficial for employment in an interdisciplinary environment in industry or public service. These competencies include not only subject-specific knowledge but also soft skills such as scientific communication and time management. In addition to lectures and laboratory work in at least two of the natural sciences with special emphasis on the nanoscale, individual specialisation is possible in a large number of elective courses. Some of the courses may also be taken abroad in a partner university or institution.
