Formats for the internationalization of Degree Programs

Offering its students an attractive range of study courses at a high academic level that is relevant to the job market and society is one of the main objectives of TH Köln. Internationalization has an integral place in this, as is evident, for example, in the anchoring of the two criteria of global citizenship and internationalization in the Strategic Guidelines for Studies and Teaching (available only in German). Similarly, the Internationalization Strategy also formulated a number of objectives that focus on the internationalization of degree programs (including Objectives II.1-1, II.3-1).

To achieve these objectives, a wide range of options of varying scales is available, from incorporating international elements into individual lectures all the way to a dual-degree program curriculum that is fully integrated with the partner university. The formats for the internationalization of degree programs presented below are intended to inform, inspire, and provide sepcific support for their implementation. Additional formats are being added on an ongoing basis.
