International University Partnerships

The initiation and maintenance of cooperative partnerships with universities and research institutions worldwide is of particular importance for the University of Wuppertal. Cooperation and competition with top universities abroad set standards for internal developments and enable efficient collaborations in research and teaching. This guarantees the international visibility of the university as a high-profile institution for education, research and services. Participants benefit from continuous know-how transfer, cross-cultural research and education insights.

At present, the University of Wuppertal has formalized partnerships with more than 70 higher education institutions worldwide. The exchange with higher education institutions in Europe is further supported by more than 150 cooperation agreements within the framework of Erasmus+.
