International Office – Your Gateway to a Global Campus

Internationalisation is not just a goal – it is a guiding principle. And at Mainz University of Applied Sciences, it is already part of everyday campus life.

Mainz University of Applied Sciences is an international and open-minded institution. With students from more than 60 countries and an international student share of over 15%, our campus is a vibrant, globally connected environment. At the same time, our university’s overall orientation is international – from academic programmes and partnerships to research and project activities around the world.

The International Office brings together and coordinates the international activities of Mainz University of Applied Sciences. We actively shape and support the university’s internationalisation processes and open up international opportunities for students, faculty and staff.

Whether you are planning a study period abroad, developing international partnerships or exploring innovative teaching formats such as COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning), the International Office is here to support and advise you.
