We offer three different ways for students to participate in International Week, depending on your interests, availability, and level of involvement.
All participation formats can be academically recognized with ECTS credits, granted according to the level of engagement and workload completed.
Option 1: Attend International Week Sessions (General Participation)
Students may participate by attending selected International Week lectures, workshops, and guest sessions throughout the week.
These sessions:
- Cover topics beyond the regular curriculum
- Feature international professors and professionals
- Are conducted in English
- Offer exposure to global perspectives and interdisciplinary discussions
This option is ideal for students who want to broaden their academic horizons and engage with international faculty without additional coursework.
Option 2: Volunteer During International Week
Students can also take part as International Week Volunteers.
Volunteer roles may include:
- Assisting with event logistics
- Supporting visiting professors and guests
- Helping during sessions and activities
- Guiding international participants around campus
Volunteers will:
- Gain valuable international and organizational experience
- Work closely with faculty and international visitors
- Be invited to join International Week social activities
This is a great opportunity to be part of the event from behind the scenes while building intercultural and professional skills.
Option 3: Join the International Joint Seminar (Ourense + Bremerhaven)
A limited number of students will have the opportunity to participate in a joint international seminar together with students from Hochschule Bremerhaven (Germany).
This special academic activity includes:
- Participation in the module “Experiments and Evidence-based Decisions”
- A collaborative seminar with an international student group
- An additional academic component connected to a follow-up activity in Bremerhaven
Places are limited, and selected students will work in mixed international teams on applied academic topics in an interactive format.
More details about academic requirements, selection, and mobility funding will be announced soon.
