When selecting the international partner universities, it is important to prepare students from both universities for a professional activity for the target markets of the respective country and to convey the importance of intercultural understanding for international cooperation. Important pillars of the internationalisation strategy at DHBW Heilbronn are short programmes, international undergraduate students, courses taught in English on campus and various multinational research projects, especially student and lecturer exchanges.

Students can use programmes for surveys (Unipark) and their evaluation (SPSS) at any time. The lecture rooms are equipped with the latest technology, for example with smartboards.

The dual study model does not focus on founding a company, but rather on the subject of intrapreneurship. In lectures, but also on a voluntary basis, the topic of entrepreneurship is addressed. Students are able to work for companies on campus to practise what they have learned (Culinary Coffee, Culinary HNY (honey from our own bees on the educational campus), ShopBox). In addition, there are opportunities for exchange and support in a variety of ways from the campus founders who work across universities on the topic of Start-ups on the education campus.
