Are you open to other cultures? Are you curious about other religions and ways of thinking, and enjoy pushing your boundaries?

Then the program “Oriental Languages and Cultures – majoring in India” is your home. Here begins an exploration of India in all its diversity.
The graduate program in India aims to form people who can bridge the gap between East and West.
