Whether studying abroad, traineeships abroad, or language courses – the possibilities are diverse.
- Studying Abroad: Students can spend a semester abroad at over 300 partner universities worldwide – with Erasmus+ grants which are possible for almost all partner universities.
- Traineeship Abroad: Whether traineeships embedded in the curriculum or voluntary ones – students do not only gain work experience abroad, they also experience a new culture. Erasmus+ also supports it.
- Employees have the opportunity to gain international experiences via an Erasmus+ Teaching Mobility or Staff Training. Annually, over 100 employees make use of this option.
With CAMPUS LinguaNEUM, the foreign languages programme of FH JOANNEUM, students are learning languages ranging from Spanish over Arabic to Korean – true to the motto: the limits of my language mean the limits of my world. Moreover, international students have the opportunity to acquire German as a Foreign Language.
Internationalization at Home: the World Comes to You
Not everyone can or would like to go abroad – therefore, there are also many opportunities on-site to get a taste of internationalization. The ‘Internationalization at Home’ offer by the International Relations Office make interculturality come alive directly on-site:
- Cultural Diversity Evenings: international students share fascinating insights into other cultures
- Tandem-Programme: students (or employees!) from different cultures and different language backgrounds exchange views
- International Events: ranging from yodelling, over bowling, to Movie Nights – here, students come together with colleagues from all over the world
Internationalization for Everyone – Without Barriers
Everyone should have the opportunity to explore the world and gain new perspectives for their studies, profession and life. Therefore, the FH JOANNEUM stands up for low-threshold mobility opportunities and special support opportunities – also for students who cannot complete a long-term mobility due to curricular reasons or personal circumstances.
That the FH JOANNEUM actively promotes its commitment in this field, showed the event ‘Mobility and Diversity – Erasmus+ in Higher Education Strategies: Data, Practice and Perspectives’ which took place at the 21st and 22nd of October 2026 at the FH JOANNEUM. As the host, the FH JOANNEUM provided a platform for exchange on inclusion and mobility in higher education – and thereby, the FH JOANNEUM emphasized its dedication to an open, diverse, and international higher education culture.
