Your Responsibilities
The opportunity:
The International Affairs Office at the University of Europe for Applied Sciences (UE) is the central hub for international opportunities across our campuses in Berlin, Potsdam, Iserlohn, Hamburg, and Dubai. We support students in their international journey by coordinating exchange programs (ERASMUS+, PROMOS, and more), study trips, and short-term mobility formats such as summer and winter schools. The IA team also provides guidance to international students on navigating German bureaucracy — including residence permits, registration, and other immigration-related matters — ensuring they feel supported throughout their studies. We build and maintain partnerships with universities and institutions worldwide, creating opportunities for student and staff mobility, academic collaboration, and the development of new international initiatives. Through these efforts, the International Affairs Office empowers the UE community to thrive in a globally connected world.
