THE CONSTANT SUPPORT OF A CLOSE KNIT (BUT HUGE) COMMUNITY OF FRIENDS AND
LECTURERS HAS MADE LIVING AND LEARNING ABROAD POSSIBLE AND INCREDIBLY EXCITING!

Tyler Whitmarsh, Australia Class of 2016


STAY CONNECTED WITH THE WORLD HERITAGE STUDIES NETWORK

Welcome to the alumni community of the Dual Master’s Programme World Heritage
Studies/Cultural Heritage and Museum Studies at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg, Germany
and Deakin University, Australia!

This website gives you many opportunities to stay connected with the two
universities, to discover events and networking activities, or to explore
various career resources aimed to help you in your field. Above all, this is a
way to get and stay in touch with old friends, to share stories and to find new
inspiring connections for your personal and professional development.

This initiative was realised with the financial support of the German Academic
Exchange Service (DAAD).




STUDYING IN COTTBUS

Cottbus is located in the State of Brandenburg, halfway between the vibrant
cities of Berlin and Dresden. The town is surrounded by many green areas,
including the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Spreewald, with its idyllic waterways and
forests, or the Branitz landscape gardens created by the eccentric Prince von
Pückler-Muskau in the mid-19th century. The charming old market place, or the
old industrial sites surrounding the landscape are reminders of the town’s
versatile heritage story.
