We promote exchange
The KHKT focuses on internationality and actively supports students on their academic journey. Exchange with other universities is particularly important to us. That is why we encourage our students to spend at least one semester at a university abroad. Such experiences not only broaden professional horizons, but also contribute to personal and intercultural development. With a broad network of partner universities and individual advice, we help you plan and successfully implement your study trip abroad.
