Dimensions of cooperation
HSMW collaborates with partner universities that wish to work together. Whether in research or in degree programmes, we strive to create genuine added value through international cooperation ā whether by offering students international experience and double degree programmes, or by working together to find solutions in research.
Neue Perspektiven fĆ¼r Ihre und unsere Studierenden: Wir entwickeln gemeinsame Bildungsangebote, die den Anforderungen einer globalisierten und digitalisierten Arbeitswelt gerecht werden. Ob grenzĆ¼berschreitende StudiengƤnge oder innovative Online-Lehre ā wir bieten flexible Modelle fĆ¼r eine nachhaltige akademische Zusammenarbeit.
- Double und Joint Degrees: Entwickeln Sie gemeinsam mit uns integrierte StudiengƤnge mit Doppel- oder gemeinsamen AbschlĆ¼ssen. Besonders in Zukunftsfeldern wie Digitale Forensik, Virtual Production, Maker Science oder Applied Artificial Intelligence bieten wir einzigartige Profile.
- Internationale MobilitƤt (Erasmus+ & weltweit): Ermƶglichen Sie Ihren Studierenden und Lehrenden wertvolle Auslandserfahrungen auf unserem modernen Campus in Mittweida. Wir garantieren eine verlƤssliche Anrechnung von Studienleistungen und eine persƶnliche Betreuung.
- COIL und Virtual Exchange: Nicht jede:r Studierende kann reisen. Durch Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) verzahnen wir Lehrveranstaltungen digital und lassen internationale Studierteams standortĆ¼bergreifend an realen Projekten zusammenarbeiten.
InterdisziplinƤre Spitzenforschung mit echtem Impact. In unseren Forschungsschwerpunkten verbinden wir grundlagennahe Erkenntnisse mit direkter industrieller und gesellschaftlicher Anwendung. Wir suchen den Schulterschluss mit Partnerhochschulen fĆ¼r gemeinsame KonsortialantrƤge (EU, BMBF, DFG) und bilaterale Forschungsprojekte.
Unsere Leuchtturm-Forschungsfelder:
- Lasertechnologie: Werkstoffbearbeitung, 3D-Druck (additive Fertigung) und Lasermikrobearbeitung auf industriellem Niveau am Laserinstitut Hochschule Mittweida (LHM).
- Angewandte Informatik: Cyber Security und digitale Forensik, Virtual und Augmented Reality, Big Data und Blockchain, Anwendung und Modellierung kĆ¼nstlicher Intelligenz.
- Produkt- und Prozessentwicklung: Biotechnologie und Genomik, Fertigungstechnologien und Arbeitsplanung, Werkstoff- und OberflƤchentechnologien, Robotik und Automation in Industrie 4.0, Ressourcenmanagement, Energietechnik und -systeme.
- Digitalisierung in Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft: Innovative Medientechnologien wie Virtual Production und KI im Journalismus, Arbeitswelten, Lebenlagen und -qualitƤt, MobilitƤt, regionale Entwicklung und Entrepreneurship, digitale Bildungstechnologien.
Der ideale Raum fĆ¼r Gastwissenschaftler und internationale Konferenzen: Suchen Sie einen Standort fĆ¼r gemeinsame Fachtagungen, Summer Schools oder mƶchten Sie eigenen Wissenschaftler:innen einen Forschungsaufenthalt (Sabbatical) an einer Top-Infrastruktur ermƶglichen?
- Gastwissenschaftler:innen: Wir bieten herausragenden Forschenden aus aller Welt optimale Arbeitsbedingungen, Zugang zu unseren Speziallaboren und eine Einbindung in unser regionales Netzwerk aus Industrie- und Forschungspartnern.

Facts and figures
100+ partner universities worldwide
We already offer HSMW students over 100 destinations for their semester abroad ā and students from our more than 100 partner institutions the option to study in Mittweida. In doing so, we focus on collaboration to develop tailor-made study programmes, with a view to ensuring the seamless recognition of academic credits.
Top ranking amongst German universities of applied sciences
The research priorities recognised by the German Rectorsā Conference are a mark of quality within the German higher education system. We are proud to have no fewer than four recognised research priorities ā and thus to rank second amongst all German universities of applied sciences.
Double-degree agreements with Europe, Asia and Africa
Real cooperation requires coordination. This is illustrated by our dynamic dual degree programmes, in which we award degrees jointly with our partners.

Ongoing internationalisation projects
STIBET I
The Scholarship and Support Programme for International Students (STIBET I) provides funding to help foster a welcoming culture at German universities. Mittweida University of Applied Sciences uses this funding to actively develop university partnerships and to attract exchange students.
PROMOS
The Programme to Promote Mobility amongst Students at German Universities (PROMOS) offers students financial support for stays abroad (studies, work placements, language and subject-specific courses) in the form of flat-rate travel allowances and/or partial grants. A maximum of 6 monthsā funding is available per stage of study (in addition to language courses).
EUN ā European University Networks
Mittweida University of Applied Sciences is a member of the European university alliance EURECA-PRO and, as such, will receive funding from 2024 to 2027 through the DAADās European University Networks programme. To expand its role within the alliance, it is implementing measures in five areas: internationalisation and mobility, a welcoming culture and integration, intercultural competence, communication and visibility, and networking and quality assurance.
STEP-NET
Strengthening Transnational Education Partnerships ā Nations in Education Together (STEP-NET) is an international project run by Mittweida University of Applied Sciences, which will be implemented from March 2026 to December 2029 in collaboration with three partner universities in two countries: Georgian National University (SEU); Odessa National Economic University (ONEU); Oles Honchar Dnipro National University (DNU).
