Hochschule Fulda has about 9000 students among them approx. 20% international students, 850 staff members with 160 professors. The internationalization strategy 2021-2025 forms part of our Development Plan and can be found here: https://www.hs-fulda.de/enold/ international/international-office/internationalisation-strategy . As a cross-divisional task, internationalization is anchored in the areas of learning and teaching, research, governance, digitalisation and administration. In accordance with this Hochschule Fulda aims to further expand its high degree of internationalization at all levels and consolidate its identity as an international university. As a result of successful mobilities we want to educate technical, multilingual and multicultural professionals who are capable of contributing to the Global Competitive Market. At the same time, it becomes more and more important to work in an international environment; being part of an international classroom in a foreign environment abroad contributes to achieving this goal. Transversal tasks such as professional staff development, equal opportunities and diversity, intercultural integration and interculturality are recognised as key strategic fields to all of which Erasmus mobilities – be it short-term or long-term – can contribute. First-generation students form more than 50% of Fulda University’s student body. It is our aim to send the same proportion of this group abroad as they are often disadvantaged in their economic means and less encouraged to go abroad by their parents or peer group. The Erasmus BIPs shall be used more to enable not only but especially these students a first exposure abroad. It is our hope and goal that eventually, students and staff will return more open and with an extended (international) mindset.
