At the heart of the cooperation between UCA & DHBW, there is a commitment to foster academic cooperation and exchange, thus enriching the academic curricula and our common understanding of human rights and the associated global challenges.The exchange of professors among our member universities has been one of our flagship activities since the establishment of the network.These programs are mutual, inter-institutional arrangements through which the proficiency and services of one institute's faculty are exchanged with the other institution for time-limited periods. The primary aim of an academic exchange program is to provide the opportunity for the exchanged personnel to serve as employees of the host institution, to encourage professional development through the stimulus of a different setting, and for the host organizations to benefit from the knowledge and skills of the exchanged personnel. It assists in the transformative internationalization of the university.

These faculty exchange programs in most cases international faculty exchange lead to some benefits that accrue to the organization like:

Invigoration of school faculty by the addition of new colleagues directly involved in the similar practice arena.

Creation of new opportunities for future school-agency collaboration on research, special projects and practicals.

Acquisition or update of practice experience which can inform faculty teaching and research.
