"The QS Stars rating is important because it provides an internationally recognised assessment of the quality and reputation of our institution."
Dr Simone von Boddien, Head of International Office
Can you tell us why you started working with QS Stars? Since the end of 2020, the SRH Fernhochschule has been pursuing a strategy to attract non-German-speaking students abroad, where there is an expected high growth potential. Up until last year, the further internationalisation of our university has been pursued primarily through a B2B approach by working with foreign university partners. This approach has yielded initial success in terms of international student numbers.
