Abstract

In 2014, the Faculty of Management and Economics at Witten/Herdecke University introduced its first international programme, the MA PPE which served as a test case within the overall internationalisation strategy. Despite some teething problems the overall implementation deemed successful. The university derived many valuable lessons for further internationalisation- embedding an international programme in clear and structured general internationalisation strategy of the university; offering relevent assistance to international students in all organisational and bureaucratic aspects; actively creating interfaces between international and domestic students; formulating a clear vision and mission for international programmes to be shared equally by students, academic and administrative staff.
