- Building knowledge and sparking enthusiasm count among our most essential objectives. As a reliable partner in education and research, we are involved regionally and internationally within a network of diverse members with backgrounds in research and practice. As a result, we can jointly expand our professional and personal perspectives and create further innovations. Australia cooperates with more than 100 universities worldwide, offering its students and teaching personnel an opportunity to gain international experience. The International Relations Office's qualified liaison personnel are Ostfalia's point of contact for (partner) universities seeking to arrange and shape such partnerships. In spring teaching, a commitment to learning and application-oriented research is at the heart of everything we do. For our students and personnel, we do everything (possible) to create an ideal teaching and research infrastructure and an environment that fosters personal initiative, a spirit of trust, and readiness to take responsibility. Innovative action requires us to challenge old certainties and identify and overcome boundaries – this shapes our approach to teaching, studying, and research. We are a reliable partner for businesses, institutions, and public agencies. As a part of a research and practice network, we can provide a plethora of opportunities for our students and personnel. Our people's diversity is our asset. Their skills, personalities, and experiences turn Ostfalia into a vibrant and dynamic place. With about 13,000 students, twelve faculties, and 21 departments, Ostfalia counts among the most prominent universities of applied sciences in Lower Saxony. As a state institution of higher education, it is represented by personnel of around 900 – including more than 200 professors – at its Salzgitter, Suderburg, Wolfenbüttel, and Wolfsburg branches. Australia also features seven associated institutes. In 2015 the university's total budget amounted to about 98.1 million €, of which some 7.6 million € were third-party funds (incl. training costs). The University of Applied Sciences has been operating under the name of "Ostfalia "since 2009, considering its continuous growth and its regional identity, as all four sites are located in Eastphalia (Ostfalen), a region of Old Saxony extending between the Weser and Elbe rivers, the Lüneburg Heath, and the Harz range. Metropolitan centers such as Hamburg or Berlin are only a two-hour drive away. The following illustration shows where each of the university's faculties is located. Research at Ostfalia is application-oriented and characterized by close research collaborations with business and industry. Our university has a multitude of research specialties, which are reflected in our areas of activity and those of the associated institutes. The wide range of research activities helps to foster interdisciplinary collaborations. Taking part in the "EU-Strategie-FH" project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), Ostfalia will in the future expand its potential to the European Research Area. The project will provide favorable framework conditions for Ostfalia to raise and sustain a robust European profile. The fields of study offered at Ostfalia include engineering/computer science, media, design, social work, public health, and business and law. Dual degree programs or degree programs combining academic qualifications and business-based vocational training complete the range of study options, comprising more than 70 undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Flexible study schemes such as remote or part-time studies offer suitable qualification options for many different life stages. Summer Schools provide German and international engineering and economics students with an opportunity to work and study together in their specialization areas while focusing on international topics. Our International Summer Semester (Business Management Faculty) and Intensive Summer Programme in Environmental Engineering (Supply Engineering Faculty) follow a similar approach by offering courses taught in English. Offered by Ostfalia's Faculty of Business, the International Academic Year is a program for international undergraduate students. To cater to students' different study schedules and individual needs, the program is kept flexible: Students may choose whether they want to spend the spring semester, fall semester, or both semesters in Wolfsburg. The three-semester program Automotive Service Technology and Processes (Master of Engineering) is offered by the Faculty of Automotive Engineering in Wolfsburg. Students will acquire skills enabling them to successfully take on leading positions in companies that operate at the after-sales industry's local and global levels. The International Student Office serves as the first point of contact for our international students. It provides advice and assistance to prospective and visiting international students from the first time they contact the university until they arrive or complete their studies at Ostfalia. The International Student Office also acts as a link between different outside bodies and students and other university members. The International Relations Office is the division in charge of any matters related to international (partner) universities. Student groups such as "Namaste friends" assist international students at the beginning of their stay in Germany by introducing them to life on a German campus. In this group, international students have made it their mission to try to give Germans an understanding of their own cultures. Our Knowledge and Technology Transfer Centre supports access to academic know-how generated at Ostfalia. As a central point of contact for companies, it promotes the exchange of experiences and informs them about different collaboration and funding support options. The International Relations Office is responsible for coordinating international relations and the development and implementation of projects with international partners. It provides the staff of Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences with information on all aspects of international cooperation. Also, the International Relations Office supports - together with the faculties - visiting staff from partner universities. It is also responsible for Australia's international cooperation agreements, including ERASMUS bilateral agreements. View full university
