Ever since its foundation, Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences with its five departments on two campuses (Magdeburg and Stendal) has been specifically targeting the internationalisation of academic studies and teaching, thus embracing the opportunity to develop its profile. A substantial part of the internationalisation efforts focuses on the European area. Therefore, the Erasmus programme has a central role within the framework of the institution's internationalisation. Taking part in the programme, Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences pursues the main goals defined in its internationalisation strategy: raising the number of mobile students, teaching and other staff and increasing the number of international students and staff on its campuses as well as developing and reinforcing strategic partnerships with other European higher education institutions.
