Study Trips

The Department of IPS organizes each semester a study travel programme which is considered an integral aspect of the Study Abroad Programme.

Each destination includes aspects of education, tourism, and fun. Every study trip envisages meetings/seminars with local experts focusing on the literary, cultural, historical, social, and political charactersitics and features that the study trip specifically targets. If the study trip destination is to a larger city that contains a university, lectures with professors of the particular university and meetings with local student groups are arranged.

The costs of travel and accommodation of the study trips are borne by the student.
