NEW YEAR, NEW LOOK

We are happy to announce the recent

launch of our updated WEBSITE www.daad-

together with our colleagues in Bonn. The

look and feel is now closer to the main site

www.daad.de and information should be

easier to find.

We also included "Contact Us" and

"Appointment Booking" forms, which will

make reaching out to us much more

efficient. Events will be announced in the

banners on our main page and you can find

a newsletter archive in case you want to re-

check older editions.

We hope you enjoy our new website - do let

Nanyang Junior College - 14th February

DAAD was present with a booth at the

Nanyang Junior College Career Fair on 14th

February 2018.

Students had the chance to learn more

about life and studying in Germany, how to

apply and admission requirements. We

would like to thank Nanyang JC for hosting

us and hope we have sparked an increased

interest in studying in Germany amoung

their students.

MOELC German Day - 20th + 21st

February

German students from MOELC had the

opportunity to listen to a presentation about

studying in Germany and participate in a

quiz about sights in Germany during their

annual German Language Day. They had

prepared their own presentation and

collages about Germany, which were very

impressive. We are sure that this kind of

exposure to language and culture will help

those of them planning to study in Germany

in the future. Not only the DAAD was

present during the fun-filled German Day,

but also the Austrian Ambassador and

representatives of the Goethe Institut, giving

the students more insights about

opportunities and options in German

speaking countries - and about the sights

they might want to visit.
