Go Global
Are you thinking of spending one or two semesters abroad, but have no idea where to start? The Department of International Affairs invites you to learn more about going abroad during your studies in various Zoom sessions from November 2nd to 6th, 2026.

Go Global is a regular event to which we invite you every semester (in general in April and November).
The dial-in details and links will be published here one week in advance. When registering, please provide your first name and surname. Aliases are not permitted.
The presentations from the sessions can be found on ILU afterwards. You must first log in to ILU. Then click on Referate --> R02 Internationale Angelegenheiten --> Outgoings --> Outgoings from TH Köln --> Ab ins Ausland.
