Science shows how important a systematically controlled process of internationalization also for Universities is. The internationalization of degree programs at Ukrainian universities as planned in INTERADIS creates important conditions for this.

 

In the process, these and other questions were discussed at the workshop:

  • How do we convince key internal and external partners and stakeholders to support us in this endeavor?

  • How do we as a university develop a good strategy and what resources do we need for this?

  • How do we reach students abroad?

  • And what marketing methods are available to place our offer to students well and to be able to compete against competing universities at home and abroad?
