Integration of International Students: HET LSA-Program

Within the framework of the HET-LSA project (2012-2020), instruments were developed and implemented to facilitate the arrival and integration of our international students in Germany and at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences.

In the state of Saxony-Anhalt, seven universities were working closely together as part of an alliance to drive forward the improvement of study conditions. In the Quality Pact for Teaching, the project "Heterogeneity as a quality challenge for studying and teaching: competence and knowledge management for higher education in demographic change" was being worked on in the state of Saxony-Anhalt. You can find out more about the network and the achieved results here.

Since September 2012, concepts for the integration of international students had been developed at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences. The focus was put on increasing equal opportunities, improving academic performance, developing intercultural skills among students and staff, as well as intensifying intercultural exchange. In recent years, various projects such as the Buddy Program and the "Welcome Sessions" have been realized.

At the beginning of 2017, the project entered its second funding phase. Wherein more emphasis was placed on the implementation of intercultural training courses for university staff, the further development of the digital awareness tool "StudySkills", as well as the development of support services for the career transition of international alumni.
