International Focus

Our international focus is an integral component of our institutional philosophy and informs every aspect of our teaching and research programmes.

Currently maintaining over 170 active partnerships with institutions of higher education on almost every continent, we are continually seeking to expand and reinforce existing programmes of cooperation. The HWR Berlin is also a member of the “Alliance for Excellence” (UAS7), an association of seven German institutions of higher education dedicated to quality and internationality, and working to extend joint research undertakings and develop shared research strategies.
