DHSH/UCSB Joint Program

block

Welcome to Santa Barbara!

Together with the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) we offer you the chance to take part in a combination of English language training on the west coast of the USA with a course on the latest technological trends in the fields of artificial intelligence and cloud computing as well as an internship in a Californian company!

The DHSH/UCSB Joint Program will kick off in the summer semester of 2023 at the DHSH in Kiel with the hybrid lecture series "Technology & Business", in which you will learn about the latest possibilities of digitalisation. Solutions for use cases such as information retrieval ("A Google search for your own company"), modern database-based controlling as an indispensable basis for decision-making in important business processes, the use of artificial intelligence for quality assurance, modern online marketing, effective e-business and more will be presented.

After your time in Kiel, you'll head to Santa Barbara for a three-week stay! On the international campus of UCSB, you will complete a week of English language training in the mornings. In the second and third week, you will then complete an internship in a Californian company and develop process optimisations and digital business models together with your contact persons and coaches. During the entire stay abroad, a social programme with excursions, activities and the opportunity for socialising is offered.

Your chance: Your gain

As a graduate of the DHSH/UCSB Joint Program you will gain:
  • An up-to-date overview of the technological possibilities of digitalisation
  • English language skills for business and IT
  • Internship abroad in a Californian company

Individual supervision

Each participant in the Joint Program is individually supervised by the International Office of the DHSH.
