DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH AND LINGUISTICS: EXCHANGE OPPORTUNITIES 2022/23
Dear students,
We cordially invite you to participate in a series of events, in which various exchange opportunities will introduce themselves to you. Given the unusual times we are witnessing, these events will take place online. Presentations for asynchronous perusal will be uploaded shortly after the event.
Please note that participation in the respective event is MANDATORY for your application. This means that if your application contains obvious errors showing that you neither took part in the live event nor read the requisite material (uploaded shortly thereafter), you will be disqualified. All session links (for TEAMS) will be communicated via this page https://www.english-and-linguistics.uni-mainz.de/austauschprogramme-auslandsstudium/ a few days before the event itself.
So here are the events we have planned for you (all events are planned for real-life times rather than academic times, so 6 pm means 18:00 rather than 18:15):

Would you like to study in Scotland or Ireland, or, better still, become a teaching assistant in Mainz University’s GET programme to help Scottish pupils in their acquisition of German? Teaching assistances are exclusively aimed at students of Lehramt, and in addition to Erasmus funding, there are also several DAAD-funded stipends available for LPLus.
