Cross-border projects and cooperations are essential elements of the general concept at Witten/Herdecke University. International strategies, contacts and cooperations existing at faculty level are rapidly becoming integral parts of university life at UW/H.
The following targets are in the focus of our international strategies:

- increased student and teacher mobility and a corresponding increase in study and lecturing periods abroad ...more
- linguistic and intercultural preparation and support for students and teachers ...more
- an image that attracts international students to UW/H; improved integration of and support services for foreign students ...more
- a scholarship fund to stimulate international mobility ...more
- appointment of university lecturers with international experience
- more English-language classes, to be announced early in order to facilitate planning for our international guests

One international coordinator at each faculty is in charge of international strategies/international mobility and acts as contact for faculty members and liaison between the faculty and the International Office.
Each faculty will introduce permanent internal monitoring of international strategies / international mobility as part of quality management.
UW/H students and staff alike are encouraged to support international strategies. One long-term objective is to employ more English-speaking individuals with intercultural experience in university management and administration as well as among the teaching staff.
