The University of Rostock cooperates with PASCH partner schools (DSD/DAS schools) abroad

In February 2008, the Federal Foreign Office launched the initiative "Schools: Partners for the Future" (PASCH). The initiative strengthens and connects a global network of around 1500 partner schools with special links to Germany. These include the so-called DSD schools - schools in the respective national education systems that offer the German Language Diploma (DSD). The DSD II is the language requirement for studying at a German university.

Since the beginning of the initiative, the University of Rostock has been building up a network of contacts with German schools abroad and language diploma schools in order to provide information about Rostock as a university location through targeted measures. Activities are focussed on partner schools in the Baltic Sea region (primarily from Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland), in Central and Eastern Europe (Czech Republic, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovenia and Croatia), but also in Latin America, East Asia and Turkey.

With project funding from the DAAD (BIDS) and the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (HSP, MBWK), measures such as inviting pupils to university information days, study information events at schools abroad and scholarships for outstanding graduates from partner schools have been realised in the past.
