IGCHE is run by a consortium of German universities seeking to institutionalise the exchange of Indian and German students by incorporating a considerable part of bachelor studies in the other country. IGCHE is part of the DHIK, the German University Consortium for International Cooperations.
IGCHE has established a number of bilingual (English/German) bachelor programmes with reputable Indian institutions of higher education. Students joining IGCHE programmes will be offered substantial additional language training in their home country as part of their regular curriculum. Upon successful completion, students will continue their studies and live in the partner country for the rest of their academic education. Students of IGCHE programmes are expected to experience the foreign culture first hand and upon completion serve as substantial catalysators of Indo-German collaboration. They will learn how to act in both cultures for the mutual benefit of both nations.
In this initiative, governments, industries and universities jointly strive to improve Indo-German collaboration by supporting young talents and develop their ability to transcend cultural barriers.
The outstanding opportunities of this approach include a strong focus on German language qualification and substantial practical orientation. Through intensive German language training as part of the curriculum, candidates are enabled to complete their 4th year in Germany. Before coming to Germany, students must pass the standard German language university level test (Level C1). As part of the German study programme, the students will be attending German classes and do their internship in a German company, which is preferably combined with a bachelor thesis of a practical orientation. Fluency in German language opens excellent opportunities with respect to employability at leading German companies with business interests in India, as well as Indian companies with business interests in Germany.
