h_da Funding Programmes
h_da offers two grant programmes for visiting lecturers in order to expand international experiences at h_da, the so-called "internationalisation@home". Students who are unable to study abroad, for example, still have the opportunity to attend courses taught by international guests and to gain intercultural competences.
To apply for these programmes, guests need an academic host and department. If you would like to be a guest lecturer at h_da but do not have any contacts in the departments, please contact the Welcome Center and we can assist you with this.
