International and Flexible
FernUniversität’s distance education model enables students to study wherever they are: Thanks to virtual as well as printed study material shipped worldwide and the possibility to take exams in any country, studying defies borders. FernUniversität is constantly extending its Internationalization at Home offerings: Students are able to take part in international collaborative modules, international summer schools, and virtual mobility programs. Thus, studying from abroad temporarily, or during the whole course of study – or staying at home with international components in one’s studies: everything is possible at FernUniversität. Both students and university staff have access to mobility programs, including Erasmus+, that support internships, trainings and studying abroad. The Internationalization Strategy outlines FernUniversität’s goals in further internationalizing research, teaching and administration of FernUniversität in Hagen.
