Internationalisation

Our mission is to promote dialogue between people from different backgrounds and cultures.

We achieve our mission by supporting international exchange and collaboration. We have partnership agreements with several universities and other institutions of higher learning in countries throughout the world. Students interested in completing a practical semester abroad also receive our support.

Benefits of International Exchange:

new cultural experiences
new friends and colleagues
improved language skills
improved teaching and research skills due to better intercultural awareness
industry and research contacts for students
more tolerance, understanding and intercultural awareness
