The YMCA University has defined three strategic goals in the area of internationalization of the university which are listed in brief below: A) Internationalization of study and teaching culture: In order to increase the quality of teaching and learning and to promote critical reflection skills through the integration of international perspectives. Furthermore the teaching of foreign languages at the university is to be expanded in the medium term. B) Increase international student and staff mobility: to increase professional qualifications, to improve communication skills across language barriers and boundaries of cultural backgrounds, to broaden professional perspectives and promote international academic exchange, to further develop the international networking of the university and to improve the quality of teaching and research C) Internationalization of the campus on site to enable intercultural exchange for students and university staff who are unable to participate in a mobility project due to personal circumstances. By participating in the Erasmus+ program in Key Action 1, the YMCA University of Applied Sciences hopes to make a valuable and significant contribution to achieving the defined strategic goals.
