Via ATHENS to TUM
Maifarah Anthonijsz is a recent ATHENS alumna. She is studying Biomedical Engineering at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and was at TUM in November 2023 as part of ATHENS. "The ATHENS program is a great opportunity to dive even deeper into my field and look at it from a different perspective. At the same time, you can explore a new country and meet interesting people." The student also mentions another important aspect: "ATHENS is the perfect opportunity to find out whether you want to go abroad for a whole semester." If you are interested in spending a semester abroad but are still determining the length and destination, ATHENS is a perfect chance to try it out.
ATHENS as an international opportunity for TUM lecturers
ATHENS is also an excellent opportunity for TUM lecturers. During this week, you will have the chance to try out new teaching methods and gain experience with international students. In addition, you will represent TUM globally and thus have a good opportunity to recruit highly motivated Master's and doctoral students from all over the world. Innovative teaching formats include, for example, the Blended Intensive Programs – BIPs for short. In this model, an additional online part is offered on top of the face-to-face course to accommodate further content.
