International Interdisciplinary Partnership Program (I2P2)

I2P2 enables international encounters - both virtual and physical - within the framework of studies and independent of longer stays abroad. Within the framework of the I2P2 modules, foreign language skills, the ability to work in a team and intercultural competencies are promoted. The integration of real case studies and projects with international companies guarantees a strong link between teaching and practice and thus improves the students' job opportunities. Thanks to the possibility of voluntary short-term mobilities and virtual participation in I2P2, students can also gain international experience who would otherwise not have the opportunity to spend time abroad.

► Global Networked Learning

This is the virtual exchange and cooperation between HAW Hof and its international partner universities. Students work virtually in international teams on a common problem. The digital communication can take place simultaneously or with a time delay. The modules include project work, seminars, role plays, visits to companies, discussions on current business topics and more.

► Short-term mobility

Short-term mobilities complement virtual collaboration with real encounters.  Excursions make it possible for students to travel to partner universities abroad and/or for international students to come to Hof.

► Scholarships for short term mobility

Students who participate in a short-term mobility within a I2P2 module can receive scholarships for travel and accommodation expenses.

► Innovative, interdisciplinary and collaborative modules are developed

► Inclusive mobility formats for students are provided

► New methods for blended learning and teaching are developed and tested

► International university partnerships are deepened

► Opportunities for students in the job market are improved
