Project objectives: to expand and consolidate international networks and strategic partnerships; to integrate international teaching and research formats into degree programmes; to strengthen the international skills of students, teaching staff and administrative staff; and to further develop the structural and strategic internationalisation of the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam.
Measures
Expanding international partnerships and integrating online teaching formats into the curriculum
Existing international partnerships are being extended to cover further academic disciplines. As part of this, joint online teaching formats are being developed, tested and integrated into the curriculum of degree programmes in order to strengthen international teaching partnerships in the long term.
Establishment and further development of sustainable European partnerships
European partnerships with universities in England and France are being established and intensified in a targeted manner. The aim is to develop long-term, sustainable cooperation structures in teaching, research and networking.
Further development of personnel qualification
The focus is on the structural further development of personnel qualification, in particular through exchange and further training formats in the DACH region (Austria and Switzerland). The content of an "International Competence" certificate will be revised and developed further; the acquisition of the certificate is part of the programme.
Revision and implementation of an internationalisation strategy
The existing internationalisation strategy of the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam will be reviewed, further developed and aligned for the coming years. The aim is to establish a strategic and operational foundation for the internationalisation of the entire university by 2028.
