QualifyING project

Supports students at risk

The QualifyING project is a cooperation project of Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences, TH Agricola Bochum and TH OWL. In a one-year programme, engineers with a refugee background who have completed their studies in their home country are requalified at universities and in partner companies. The aim is to prepare students as comprehensively as possible for the German labour market and to obtain a certificate awarded by the universities. The project is funded by the Ministry of Culture and Science (MKW).
