“We provide our students with an internationally-oriented education, preparing them for their future tasks as mobile, internationally active scientists and academics as well as specialists and executives. It is our goal to equip them with the skills necessary for a globalised world and for the employment market, and to support them as they develop into open-minded members of our society.”

We are promoting student mobility abroad by participating actively in the development of the higher education areas of Europe and the wider world and by dismantling barriers to mobility.

We are extending our internationally-oriented study programmes and those held in English, especially in the subjects which are particularly attractive for international students.

We are improving the academic success of international students with the help of supervision and integration measures. We have made it our goal to occupy a top position in Germany in terms of the successful education of this target group.

2. The internationalisation of research

“We are intensifying our links with international partners in order to promote research collaborations and to achieve top research results. Our junior researchers are already actively involved in this development while working on their doctorates.”

We are collaborating with international scientists and academics worldwide in order to achieve top research results. It is only as an attractive, internationally connected university that we will be able to overcome global scientific and social challenges.

We are furthering the internationalisation of the doctoral phase. It is our aim to integrate junior researchers into collaborations and exchanges with international scientists and academics early on. Top scientific quality in an international environment will ensure our University is an attractive destination for doctoral candidates from all over the world.

“We are creating general conditions in which the internationalisation of teaching and research at our University can unfold in the best way possible, and which serve to equip all university members with the necessary skills to enable them to contribute effectively to shaping this development.”

We are aiming towards having an academic staff that is international in character. Cultural diversity and international experience ensure the critical examination of socially relevant questions. We are committed to an international campus and are creating the support structures appropriate to this end.

We are continuously extending our linguistic and intercultural competences. To make our international guests feel welcome at our University, we are consolidating and expanding our internationally-oriented service culture. We support our employees in their endeavours to put the idea of an international campus into practice in everyday life.

 “We want to establish our University as an internationally recognised institution and to increase its visibility to ensure it has worldwide appeal for the ‘best minds’.”

We are intensifying our collaboration with selected partner universities and networks to ensure our active performance in the worldwide scientific community. Together with our partners in the research alliance DRESDEN-concept, we are taking measures to raise the profile of Dresden as a scientific location and to make our University more visible both within Germany and on the international stage. We are making a name for ourselves as an excellent university in the global competition for the brightest minds.
