As an internationally oriented university, we view diversity as a key strength and a prerequisite for excellence in teaching, research, and community engagement. People from diverse cultural, academic, and personal backgrounds shape our campus and create an open, respectful, and inspiring environment. International perspectives are an integral part of our identity.

The International Office supports, promotes, and coordinates internationalization efforts in research, teaching, and administration, and works with the Office of the President and the academic departments to strategically advance internationalization.

The university’s international character is strengthened by over 400 partnerships, its membership in the YUFE and YERUN networks, as well as through strategic collaborations and the Research Ambassador Program. People from over 100 countries enrich student life, teaching, research, and everyday university life.

It supports students, faculty, and staff in gaining international experience, developing intercultural skills, and critically reflecting on global issues—thereby actively shaping the process of internationalization.

Our guiding principle is quality-oriented, sustainable, and goal-driven internationalization. Our aim is to foster partnerships that are mutually beneficial, responsible, and context-sensitive, and to work with international partners to develop and implement solutions to global challenges.

We offer students and teaching staff members a wide range of opportunities to stay abroad: whether within Europe via the ERASMUS programme, outside Europe at one of our partner universities worldwide or on your own initiative at the university of your choice abroad. You can find more information about study, internships, teaching or research stays here:

These agreements enable student exchanges and joint research and are usually assigned to specific faculties or institutions. There are also university-wide and strategic partnerships. One important network is the YUFE Alliance, which contributes to the internationalisation of the university. Further information can be found here:

With various pilot projects such as the YUFE Bachelor's degree, YUFE4Postdocs and the YUFE Staff Journey, YUFE is developing new standards and innovative models for how universities in Europe can systematically grow together.
