Quality Management in the International Division
The area of International Affairs is subject to the Prorectorate for International Affairs and Lifelong Learning and is based on the internationalization strategy of the University of Siegen. International Affairs is anchored at the central level in the International Office (IO), which consists of two departments.
| International Student Affairs: Head K. Sommer |
|---|
|
| Welcome Center for International Researchers: Head N. Fenn |
|
The distribution of tasks between the International Office and the faculties (as well as some other units particularly relevant in this context) is set out in a service catalog, which is continuously updated. Furthermore, various processes of the international division are gradually being included in the QM manual of the QZS.
In order to develop and secure the quality goals for International Affairs deposited in the various areas, the Prorectorate holds regular meetings with university and regional units. Results or open questions from the discussions are forwarded to the responsible senate committee. Problems that cannot be solved in the system outlined go to the QM Steering Committee as a last resort.
If you have praise, questions, suggestions or criticism in the area of International Affairs, please contact the International Affairs Officer, Eva Grottschreiber, directly.
