Who can apply?
Bachelor's and teacher training students from the second semester and Master's students from the first semester can apply. It is important to us that students from any subject area are willing and able to take part in the project. Comprehensive theoretical knowledge of politics is not a prerequisite for a successful application.
Structure of the Project
Over the course of the semester, you will participate in various activities that will give you a deeper understanding of the United Nations and its role as a global organization. The project consists of the following components:
- Seminar: A weekly seminar of 1.5 hours each focusing on the United Nations as an international organization
- Tutorial: A weekly tutorial of 4 hours each, where tutors will provide you with the necessary skills to be well prepared for the upcoming simulation conferences.
- Excursions: Visits to prestigious institutions beyond the seminar rooms with impressive field trips to Berlin and Washington DC.
- Conferences: Participation in the simulation conferences in Bamberg, Erlangen, Erfurt and New York.
Project Costs
To cover the costs associated with the project, the total price for each participant is approximately �700. These are to be paid in advance. In addition, participants are responsible for their own travel to the USA. We strive to organize sponsors and academic grants to keep the financial burden as low as possible. It is possible that participants will be reimbursed a portion of the amount paid at the end of the project. This usually takes place in July or August.
