WE Believe in Internationalization, Because Academia is inconceivable without international cooperation. We Cannot Solve Any of the Global Challenges Without Cross Border and Interdisciplinary Collaboration. And we shouldn’t want to
says the President of TH Lübeck, Dr. Muriel Helbig at the beginning of the event, which was largely held in English.
Helbig emphasizes the importance of internationalization at TH Lübeck with numbers. 681 international students are currently located at TH Lübeck. Over 60 partner institutions worldwide – most per country can be found in Ukraine. Students have the opportunity to choose from a total of 6 double degree programs in China, Europe and the USA, including joint cooperation with the Milwaukee School of Engineering that has existed since 1994.
The President of TH Lübeck also deals with the current situation in the USA: Everyone loses, if there is no industrial science in the united states. Let US Invite International Students, Doctors, Post-Docs, Researchers to Collaborate With Us, To Engage with Us. But Based Not on the Wish for Short Term Gain of One Country But in Order to Jointly Engage for A Free, Healthy Science Community.
Three reasons for internationalization on the MSOE
In his keynote, the honorary citizen of TH Lübeck and President of the MSEO, John Walz, emphasized the importance of internationalization for the university. In addition to pure financial advantages, the revitalization of the campus, the city and teaching are very valuable. Why do we want to have an international component to our Education?
asks Walz.
He answers with three reasons. The first anwer is that I Believe that on International Component Strengthens the Education We Provide to our Students.
Studying abroad, finding your way around, self -confidence, independence and empathy of the students would strengthen enormously. The second reason: It Makes US A Better University
says Walz. Having Students from Different Cultures Brings Diversity of Ideas Into Our University and Into Our Pedagogy.
The third reason:It Makes Our Community Stronger.
To connect to the TH Lübeck and the Cooperation programs Walz says with the observation of the current government: I Personally do not Believe that Our Exchange Program is in Any Type of Danger. There is an Enourmous need in the us for more highly trained engineers, business leaders and clear the relationship between two Two Countries Remain Strong.
