FOR A GLOBAL EMPLOYMENT MARKET<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the leading motifs <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Applied</strong> <strong>Sciences</strong><br />
<strong>Offenburg</strong> is the international orientation. A look<br />
around the campus will make it evident that globalization<br />
is not just an idea, but a reality. This is backed by the fact<br />
that more than 13 percent <strong>of</strong> students come from all over<br />
the world, representing an important share <strong>of</strong> the total student<br />
population.<br />
EXCELLENT EDUCATION IN AN INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT<br />
In four degree programs, an application oriented<br />
academic education is <strong>of</strong>fered in the areas <strong>of</strong> Information<br />
Technology, Energy Technology and Management:<br />
Communication and Media Engineering (M.Sc.)<br />
Energy Conversion and Management (M.Sc.)<br />
International Business Consulting (MBA)<br />
Master <strong>of</strong> Process Engineering (M.Sc.)<br />
Bilateral degree programs with France, Switzerland and<br />
Chile are also available. Target groups are German as well<br />
as international students with above average qualifi cations<br />
and/or excellent fi rst degrees. Students receive a fi rst class<br />
education preparing them for a global market in their chosen<br />
fi eld <strong>of</strong> study as engineers and business managers.<br />
Today many graduates work in positions <strong>of</strong> high responsibility<br />
both in Germany and in international companies. Intercultural<br />
competence at our university is not just a sound<br />
byte, but a real skill acquired in the classroom.<br />
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICE IN COMPETENT HANDS<br />
The Graduate School co-ordinates activities such as contacts<br />
with companies, international marketing for the university,<br />
application and admissions procedures, interdisciplinary<br />
lectures, support for international students, co-operation,<br />
international alumni projects, quality aspects as well as<br />
examination questions.<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the most important goals <strong>of</strong> the Graduate School is<br />
to foster contacts outside <strong>of</strong> the lecture hall. A motivated<br />
team supports students in the process <strong>of</strong> settling into their<br />
new place <strong>of</strong> study. The Graduate School also organizes<br />
social and cultural activities like excursions and international<br />
events.<br />
Clearly, the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Applied</strong> <strong>Sciences</strong> <strong>Offenburg</strong> with<br />
the international degree programs has become one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
most popular universities for international students in Germany.<br />
This can be verifi ed by the large number <strong>of</strong> projects<br />
supported and awarded by the German Academic<br />
Exchange Service (DAAD). Recently, the Master program<br />
”Communication and Media Engineering” was chosen<br />
among the TOP 10 and recognized by the DAAD and the<br />
foundation for German <strong>Sciences</strong> (Stifterverband für die<br />
Deutsche Wissenschaft) as one <strong>of</strong> the most innovative<br />
Mas ter programs in Germany.<br />
