Clausthal University of Technology has been one of the most international universities in Germany for many years. This is partly due to the high proportion of foreign students (around 50 percent) and partly due to the international composition of the academic staff. Globalization is not only taught on campus, in the lecture halls and laboratories, in the student residences and at joint parties and events, it is also lived.
