Intercultural Competence

Certificate for Students and Staff

The "Intercultural Competence" certificate is an extracurricular offer from the Hochschule Merseburg for its students and employees: in addition to language skills, stays abroad, and intercultural awareness, this certificate also highlights the Hochschule Merseburg’s own intercultural engagement.

Language courses for Students and Staff

Increasing internationalization means that knowledge of foreign countries, including their language, culture, history and traditions, is more important now than ever before.
For many degree programs, at least one foreign language is compulsory. The courses offered include English, French, Russian, Spanish and German as a foreign language.
We offeradditional courses for students outside of the curriculum to prepare for stays abroad or as proof for a future Master's application. Special courses are also offered for university staff to help them meet the demands of everyday professional life.

Learning Opportunities, Further education, Participation in Congress or Lecture tours abroad

Teaching opportunities and further education for university staff can be carried out via Erasmus+ or within the framework of university cooperation. Funding for participation in congress or lecture trips is possible through the DAAD.

The internationalization strategy and the goals and measures contained therein are intended to increase the attractiveness of the range of courses offered to domestic and international students and to further expand successful international activities. It is relevant not only for teaching and research, but also for administrative processes. Along with the mobility of students and university staff, this strategy also promotes internationalization "on site" and the integration of international students.

Key objectives:

• Increasing the proportion of international students pursuing an academic degree
• Stabilization and increase of exchange student mobility both (incoming + outgoing)
• Maintaining cooperation with partner universities and establishing new contacts
• Consolidation and expansion of the welcoming culture: integration and support
• Strengthening internationalization "on site"
• Internationalization of research
