On September 24, 2026, Soochow University (SU) welcomed the delegation from the Faculty of Business and Management, Koblenz University of Applied Sciences (Hochschule Koblenz), Germany, including Prof. Dr. Andreas Hesse, Program Director Ms. Natascha Berg, and Program Manager Ms. Sophia Sturm. As SU is currently its only partner institution in Taiwan, this inaugural visit marked an important milestone in the partnership between the two universities and laid a solid foundation for further strengthening faculty and student exchanges, as well as academic collaboration in the future.

Hochschule Koblenz exchange program welcomes students from all academic disciplines, offering opportunities to gain international experience without requiring a business background. To help SU students gain a better understanding of its exchange program, including the English taught courses offered, accommodation options, and international student support services, an info session presented by Ms. Sturm was held on SU Downtown Campus on September 29, 2026.
