Internationally connected: Int-WiSo e.V.
The
“Incorporated Society of International Degree programmes” exists since 2005 and
aims in particular to support and connect international degree programmes. This
student initiative offers students studying International Business Studies,
International Commercial Law or Master of International Business the
possibility to get involved and simultaneously to network. To do so Int-WiSo
has its own homepage which serves as a contact platform for students plus there
are five work groups covering different projects which are open to every
interested student of the international degree programmes. Resulting from this
there are many possibilities to get involved. For example, the work group
“Event” focuses on boosting the student community by organising collective
events such as pub nights, sports
festivals or summer festivals. The work group “Business meets Int-WiSo” aims to
establish contacts with companies. This collaboration results for example in
lectures, events and workshops with such renouned companies as
PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Roland Berger and Audi.
