International Collaboration

Internationalisation is a cross-sectional task at the Hannover University of Applied Sciences and Arts and influences all areas of institutional activity. Teaching and research are further enhanced through collaborations with numerous partner universities worldwide. Staff and lecturers can develop their international and intercultural competencies and enhance their foreign language skills. This can be achieved, for example, through further education and training opportunities, lecturer mobility programmes or international projects.
