The room is wonderfully furnished with a play corner, a baby changing table, a comfortable sofa where you can feed your baby, and a lot more besides. The quiet room at the Self-Study Centre is another real gem. There are loungers and hanging chairs where you can power-nap to help you relax and recharge your batteries. Give it a try – it is worth it! Fulda University has set itself the priority objective of promoting student and lecturer exchanges and international research cooperation. Thus, Fulda University prepares its students for growing European integration and labor market globalization and helps them develop their intercultural skills. By providing an appropriate range of study programs, Fulda University makes itself more attractive to international students. It fosters their academic success and their participation in social life. Internationalization, intercultural integration, and interculturality are vital strategic areas at Fulda University. Economic, social, and demographic developments have increased the importance of attracting international students. The University is thus facing the challenge of responding to the student body's increasingly multicultural composition and shaping interculturality. Student multiculturalism opens up new perspectives – for example, about the international and intercultural exchange. Fulda University takes a complimentary view of the opportunity to embrace this potential and turn it into a productive advantage. "Computers everywhere" is a perfect way to describe the status of computer science today. Computer-based solutions are found in almost every area of daily life. Computer science is often the driving force from the further development of everyday items to new industrial sectors. There will be opportunities to engage in fascinating research in this field for decades to come. The Department's professors and associates provide – also thanks to our excellent spatial and technical facilities – general, practically oriented Bachelor's and Master's degree programs in Applied Computer Science as well as opportunities for advanced studies in digital media, embedded systems, e-health, internet engineering, media informatics, software development, and business IT. For more than 30 years, the Department of Applied Computer Science has been continually updating its study programs and engaging in innovative research projects to ensure that its graduates enjoy outstanding success in many different business sectors and society in general. If you have any questions or suggestions, make the most of the Department's informal atmosphere and contact my colleagues directly. I will also be happy to hear from you. View full university
