An academic exchange with Africa

Good academic records, open mindedness, motivation

This student exchange is about mutual academic benefits and about exchange and mingling ideas. We are looking for physics students who
  • are registered at a German university
  • are available from August 2008 to April 2009
  • are very open minded and tolerant
  • are intrinsically motivated
  • have good academic records
  • have a good chance of winning the DAAD Jahresstipendium
  • are reliable and able to adopt to a foreign culture and to different teaching styles
  • have shown social engagement in some kind of club or at their physics department
Students from higher semesters may also apply. But they should give us comprehensible reasons why they think a year abroad will probably not delay their studies.
As mentioned above the Berlin-Nairobi Exchange runs several programmes besides the student exchange with JKUAT (see these webpages and a summary of the activities of the Berlin-Nairobi Exchange (pdf)). Participation in these additional programmes is not mandatory for applicants. But most former participants did in fact join one of these projects. Some even became project co-ordinators after their return. So please have a look at the above report and do not hesitate to ask us questions before or during your application!
