Staff from both institutions regularly visit each other to deliver lectures and give talks about studying abroad.

On this occasion, it was the turn of Heike Zöller, International Services and ERASMUS officer for the Faculty of Social Sciences at Bochum. During her week at Bangor, she learnt about how the School supports both incoming and outgoing exchange students, and she delivered a talk to first year students about the benefits of studying at a partner university.

Heike, who is also studying an MA at Bochum, also attended a seminar in her field of expertise, social policy.
