In addition, English and German language courses are offered to our Ph.D. students, in order to improve their language skills. For the purpose of introducing foreign students to European culture and to help foster a corporate identity, JGUM and MAINZ will regularly organise cultural events. Similar training will be provided at the Kaiserslautern International School for Graduate Studies (ISGS).
