Sigmund Freud Private University aims to cultivate the broadest possible international outlook across all areas of its operations while respecting region-specific framework conditions for each study programme. Fostering an international and intercultural perspective is central to the university’s approach in teaching, research, and administration, and is actively embraced by all members of the institution.
Internationalisation is a core component of Sigmund Freud Private University. This ongoing process integrates international, intercultural, and global perspectives into all activities, contributing to the continuous improvement and quality assurance of the university’s operations. The community at Sigmund Freud Private University views itself as a driving force behind international and intercultural thinking, fully committed to advancing the institution’s understanding of internationalisation.
The International Office plays a crucial role in enhancing the university’s international connections and visibility, thereby strengthening its global relationships. It acts as a resource center for international matters, offering support to researchers, educators, and students, and serves as a central point for both internal and external collaborations.
As a key player in the university’s internationalisation efforts, the International Office assists the university leadership in developing and implementing international strategies and engages in dialogue with globally relevant stakeholders and partners. When needed, it facilitates specific cooperation agreements.
On an administrative and operational level, the International Office manages student exchanges, international staff mobility, postgraduate integration opportunities (such as observers and fellows), adjunct professorships, and current topics related to international exchange.
