International affairs

Commission International Affairs (formerly: Core Team International)

The University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg understands internationality as the ability to think and act beyond national borders and to gain new insights and experiences together with other cultures and traditions.

 

As a cosmopolitan and international university, the H-BRS is firmly rooted in the region and at the same time globally networked. With the principle of regional internationality, the university tries to take into account the internationalization of economy and society in cooperation with regional stakeholders.  International study programs, worldwide cooperation in teaching and research as well as the exchange of students, scientists and employees enrich the university life and underline this profile. 

The Presidential Commission on International Affairs advises the university management on all matters relating to the initiation and implementation of international cooperation projects as well as the development and implementation of interdepartmental programs and projects with foreign partners. It is a cross-departmental forum for exchange and mutual learning about internationalization.
