Idea
The IGCHE concept centres on intercultural interdisciplinary learning that is practical, embedded in a sound scientific education, paired with fundamental knowledge of the global economy.
IGCHE is driven by following goals:
- Establishment of premium quality, bilingual bachelor programmes
- Substantial German language training incorporated into the regular teaching schedule
- German guest lecturers teaching selected courses in India
- Collaboration with German companies for internship in India and in Germany
We offer practical training of engineers in well-equipped laboratories to develop interdisciplinary knowledge, international qualifications and the ability to find solutions for problems in the industry and economy of both countries.
IGCHE abides by a strict non-profit approach. It is not the objective of the initiators to export an educational model to India for the purpose of generating revenue nor for profit maximization, either in India or in Germany. IGCHE plans to be autonomous and self-sufficient, and to remain uniquely dedicated to the goals developed above.
Native German language teachers work together with their Indian colleagues to provide excellent study conditions to the IGCHE students.
German guest lecturers visit the Indian partner universities and give the students insight into the German way of teaching, answer questions and teach technical lessons in German language to the higher batches.
Summer School trips to Germany during the first three years of study help to get an idea about living abroad and boost motivation.
In the final year, the Indian students take the same classes as their German peers and get a regular German bachelor's degree. Many of them opt to continue their master studies in Germany or take a job as an engineer in Germany right after graduating.
