About This Opportunity

The KOSPIE program supports advanced engineering students from ten participating Colombian universities to pursue combined study and practical experience in Germany. The program is co-funded by ICETEX and DAAD. Students initially spend one semester at a German university followed by a 4 to 6-month industrial internship in Germany. The program provides comprehensive support including preparatory German language courses in Colombia, intensive language courses in Germany, monthly scholarships, travel costs, insurance, and tutorial supervision at the German host university. This 12-month program aims to enhance engineering students' academic and practical skills through international experience.
