The University of Augsburg would like to open a new chapter in the academic training of future teachers with the ‘A.LEAP’ project;

In addition to the established, professional educational science, didactics and subject-specific studies at the University of Augsburg, a significant expansion of the internationalisation of teacher training is to be achieved. The ‘A.LEAP’ project aims to expand existing initiatives and, among other things, implement elements of Internationalisation@home to a greater extent in Augsburg. A sustainable increase in student mobility is at the centre of this, as is differentiation according to school type. In close cooperation with lecturers from seven European universities, a network is to be created as part of the project collaboration to support these plans.

The ‘A.LEAP’ project is intended to be a ‘leap’ into an international future for the University of Augsburg and its teacher training subjects, inviting its student teachers to discover programmes abroad on a broad basis. With the network universities in seven countries, a long-term and diverse connection is being created that ensures that the academic training of future teachers takes place in internationalised study programmes at all universities, but especially at the University of Augsburg. These offer student teachers a wide range of intercultural, linguistic and practical learning opportunities.
