The Commission for International Affairs (KfI) is the central body of the Faculty of Engineering when it comes to international topics and strategic direction. With its expertise, it advises the Dean’s Office on all international matters and plays a key role in shaping the faculty’s internationalization strategy. As an interface between the faculty, the International Office, and the university administration, the KfI ensures that international concerns are purposefully coordinated and further developed.

Focus on the Internationalization of Teaching
While the faculty's research already operates successfully and intensively within global networks, the KfI focuses on the internationalization of teaching. It drives the development and implementation of study programs with an international orientation, initiates new university partnerships, explores innovative fields of cooperation, and works with partners to design new programs and degree courses. It is also responsible for drafting agreements and maintaining existing partnerships.

Study Programs and Advising
The resulting international study options are supported by SCIES, which provides dedicated assistance to students and partner universities. Students interested in studying abroad are welcome to contact SCIES for a consultation.

Strategic Partnerships – Your Contribution Is Welcome
The KfI is actively committed to expanding and maintaining strategic partnerships worldwide and explicitly welcomes initiatives and suggestions from within the faculty.

Here you will soon find a wide range of internationalization opportunities offered by the Faculty of Engineering.
