The Deggendorf Institute of Technology (DIT) certificate for “Intercultural Competence” offers students, DIT employees and others with university entrance qualifications, the opportunity to gain skills in intercultural competence.

This certificate allows you to learn these skills and apply them to various contexts that can arise in a globalised world, while teaching you more about how your personal values and behavior influence intercultural interactions.
