For the first time since the end of the pandemic, a group of 50 Canadians from all parts of the country spent a weekend at the castle campus of the Bundesbank’s University of Applied Sciences in Hachenburg. The visit was part of the guests’ multi-week round-trip to various European institutions. Alongside Brussels, Luxembourg, Frankfurt am Main and Strasbourg, Hachenburg has been an integral part of the European Study Tour and Internship for several years now. The annual Canadian visit has been part of the University’s calendar since 2006.
Following this renewal of the cooperation, plans have been made for Canadian students to continue to visit the University in the coming years. This will be led by University of Victoria Professor Amy Verdun. In addition, discussions have begun with the Canadian organisers concerning the potential organisation of a similar tour through their country for Hachenburg students in the future.
