Abstract:
International students are increasingly shaping the German higher education landscape but face specific linguistic, social, and structural challenges. These often affect their academic success, satisfaction, and long-term prospects of staying. This paper examines these issues and identifies approaches for sustainable support of international students. Using the example of TU Dresden, it presents the project FIT:TER, which aims to strengthen the academic success and integration of international students through targeted and evidence-based measures in study preparation, support, and employability. The main focuses are on language development, peer mentoring, and career-oriented qualification. The accompanying research provides empirical insights into the effectiveness of these measures.
