Internationalization at Goethe University
i-Goethe: As an international university, we integrate international perspectives into research, teaching, knowledge transfer, and social dialogue.
Internationalization – A Strategic Approach
Goethe University's internationalization is based on a collaboratively developed strategy that guides our actions and university-wide development across all faculties.
Dr. Johannes Müller
|Head of Global Office
“Good research and teaching rely on partners worldwide. International researchers and students rely on our support here on campus. The internationality of science and study depends on strong framework conditions.”
International Study Center (ISZ)
The ISZ brings together Goethe University's core offerings for study preparation aimed at international applicants: the Preparatory School and German as a foreign language. It also provides foreign language courses for students.
International Teaching
Goethe University promotes international teaching: through English-language offerings, global collaborations, and diverse exchange programs, it strengthens intercultural competencies and transforms the campus into a site of worldwide connection.
Support for Refugees
Goethe University supports refugees before, during, and after their studies. In addition to preparatory courses and language classes, this includes scholarships, assistance with finding housing and administrative processes, funding and integration.
International Network
Goethe University maintains partnerships with over 450 universities across Europe and around the world. It promotes both international exchange among students as well as international research, thereby strengthening global networking.
