The Ohm is a university with strong regional roots that understands its role in a globalised living, employment, and research community. Our aim is to offer our students degree programmes and a learning environment that provide access to applied research in today’s international context. Therefore, an international and intercultural orientation already forms a key component of life at the university; the development of this characteristic is anchored in our internationalisation strategy (Version 2023 / in English) / Internationalisierungsstrategie (Version 2024 / in German)

The following third-party funded projects support the implementation and continued development of the measures described in the strategy to advance internationality at the Ohm.

Internationalisation squared (2022 – 2023)

The Internationalisation squared (INT2) project implements and further develops the Ohm’s internationalisation strategy. Based on a comprehensive analysis of existing Erasmus university partnerships, three to five European partner universities will be selected with which institutionalized cooperation will be extended to the area of research and deepened in the area of education. INT2 aims to expand the catalogue of courses conducted in English at our technical Faculties and increase the number international research projects, e.g., within the framework of Horizon Europe. The long-term goal of these activities is to establish a European university network for comprehensive cooperation in all university fields of action.

INT2 is funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) in Module A of the UAS.International funding programme with funds from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2023. In this programme, the DAAD has been funding activities to advance internationality at universities of applied sciences since 2019. UAS.International has four funding modules; projects in Module A cover initiation and preparation purposes, which include the implementation and further development of internationalisation strategies as well as the establishment and expansion of networks.

Cooperation between Ontario Tech and the Technische Hochschule Nürnberg – Comprehensive Exchange in Research and Teaching 2022 (2023-2024)

In the Cooperation between Ontario Tech and Technische Hochschule Nürnberg – Comprehensive Exchange in Research and Teaching 2022 (CONCERT’22) project at the Institute for Chemistry, Materials and Product Development (OHM-CMP), a cooperation in research and teaching between the Ohm and the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (Ontario Tech) in Oshawa, Canada, is being developed and established. The aim is to exchange students, doctoral candidates, and lecturers and, in the longer term, to introduce a double-degree master’s programme. The collaboration with Ontario Tech contributes to advancing internationalisation at the Ohm and promotes the expansion of courses conducted in English and international research projects. The Faculty of Mechanical and Building Services Engineering and the Faculty of Materials Engineering are currently involved in the project.

The project is funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) in Module B of the UAS.International funding programme during the period between 1 Jan 2023 - 31 Dec 2024 with funds from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). In this programme, the DAAD has been funding activities to advance internationality at universities of applied sciences since 2019. UAS.International has four funding modules; projects in Module B cover model and cooperation projects for the establishment and expansion of international university cooperation.
