International
The FHNW University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland leverages its global network and global collaboration for teaching and research purposes. It makes its international expertise available to the Swiss economy and society. It offers people from all over the world a diverse and practically oriented programme of education and learning.
The FHNW University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland is a highly innovative education and research institution with strong regional ties as well as national and international networks. Its nine schools foster a discerning, critically reflective and ethical stance in their students, continuing education participants and staff and support them in developing “global competencies”. Practical, disciplinary and interdisciplinary programmes and mobility opportunities enable members of the FHNW to identify opportunities and challenges in a world that is dynamically changing, and to work in teams developing forward-looking solutions to pressing problems.
The FHNW’s internationalist position offers students and researchers opportunities to exchange and collaborate with partner institutions in all regions of the world and political systems. This produces professionals with an intercultural understanding of the working world and society. Their experience of international collaboration promotes an enduring added value, namely diversity.

Staff Mobility
We also want our staff to gain international experience and cultivate exchange. For example, lecturers and staff participate in:
- International research projects
- Research networks
- Conferences
- Workshops
- International Weeks at our partner universities
- Study trips
Lecturers pass on these experiences to their students in class, and foreign lecturers regularly hold guest lectures at the FHNW. Administration, libraries and services staff also contribute to the international atmosphere.
