HSNR International
Profile and strategy

Through application-orientated and science-led educational programmes, HSNR enables students to be prepared for future challenges in working life and society and to be professionally successful.

In a globally connected world we aim to provide sustainable and future-orientated teaching and study programmes with an international focus.

HSNR aims to offer international students a positive environment in which skills can be developed and intercultural experiences made possible.

With its research and transfer projects, the HSNR addresses key global challenges and cooperates successfully with international partner organisations and companies.

The HSNR assumes responsibility and engages in dialogue with social stakeholders - not only regionally and nationally, but also internationally.

The HSNR offers refugees educational prospects and cooperates with universities in disadvantaged countries.

Attracting students, employees and researchers from abroad is becoming increasingly important for the HSNR.

Demographic change, a shortage of skilled labour and the conviction that cultural diversity is quality-enhancing and enriching for everyone involved mean that we are focusing on attracting young talent from abroad.

The HSNR's internationalisation activities are supported by quality-oriented maintenance of our relationships with partner universities abroad.

Quality criteria for new partnerships as well as the prioritisation, evaluation and continuous maintenance of existing relationships/cooperations contribute to strengthening the HSNR's network abroad.

Internationalisation can only succeed if the ground is prepared by a cosmopolitan attitude and intercultural flexibility on the part of university staff.

At the same time, the increased visibility of international activities (e.g. in social media or through the multilingual availability of offers on the website) is also a key factor in promoting an international university culture.
