In order to gradually bring about a stronger international orientation of courses, lectures and research on the basis of the Bologna agreements, in the future it will be necessary to achieve stronger curricular networks, more intensive, targeted advice to students, and a clarification of the various processes for recognising course contents and academic performance at administrative level. In order to make this more outwardly transparent, CUAS Mainz adopted the "Guidelines for the internationalisation of Mainz Catholic University of Applied Sciences, 2019-2024" on the 4th April 2019.
