Nigeria Is Booming – Also at the University of Bremen

Students from Nigeria are currently one of the biggest groups of students from abroad at the University of Bremen. Over 180 Nigerians are enrolled in mostly English-speaking master’s degrees. This gave cause to the alumni association to sound out how the alumni efforts can be improved in this emerging African country.

Together with the DAAD in Nigeria and the International Office of the University of Bremen, we are therefore hosting the two-day workshop ‘Digitalization of Academic Teaching and Alumni Work’ at the end of February. It will be a hybrid event: Participants in Lagos will gather on the university’s campus, everyone else will be joining digitally.

In advance, we asked Dr. Gerald Heusing, DAAD lecturer in Lagos, about his experiences in the metropolis of fourteen million. You can find the video interview here.
