The international degree programs in social work, religious education and diaconal studies at the Protestant University of Applied Sciences in Ludwigsburg provide an intercultural and inclusive character of the university campus.  Visiting lecturers from partner universities initiate discussions on differences and commonalities of social work practice in Europe and around the world given our ever changing political questions and social responsibilities. Visiting theologians provide fresh discourses on the role of deacons and religion teachers in the dialogue of faiths. Discourses in diversity and inclusion open the stage for action oriented reflection on how the service profession of social work, deaconry and religious teaching continues to provide relevant responses to present day challenges.

We welcome students and  teachers from partner universities who bring new insight to our local experiences and help us expand our own borders. The International Office implements projects supported by the European Union Erasmus Program to optimize the participation of local and international students in intensive exchange programs and intercultural networking to create a sustained relationship among students and the teaching staff.
