Internationalisation@home

"...any internationally related activity with the exception of outbound student and staff mobility" (Wächter, 2000)

Hochschule Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences has made it its mission to promote internationalisation not only by means of international mobility, but also through appropriate measures on site. These can be summarised under the term "Internationalisation@home" - i.e. access to important intercultural experiences and international discourses on our own campuses ("at home"). Especially for students who, for different reasons, cannot go abroad themselves, we offer intercultural experiences at home to gain skills needed in their professional lives. In the area of administration and teaching, our aim is to prevent communicative conflicts and misunderstandings by intercultural sensitisation through (inbound and outbound) staff mobility. In addition, an international perspective will be integrated even more strongly into new degree programmes. Our measures are designed to bring the positive aspects of internationalisation closer to all h_da students and staff, thus creating a culture of welcome at the university.
