In the late 70th and 80th partnerships and joint programs with foreign universities were created - the first once with:
 * EPSCI Cergy-Pontoise (Paris)
 * Plymouth Polytechnic (later Plymouth University)
 * Hogere Economische School Amsterdam - HES
 * Buffalo State College (Buffalo New York)

In the 90th a study program for New Published Management was implemented - the program following the concepts of supported distant learning (Verbund).

Many years - from the very beginning - study programs at the university were designed as diploma programs.

Diploma programs were replaced by bachelor programs and completed by master programs.
