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 />
