Mission Statement & Strategy

Within the German-speaking countries we are the only public university for continuing education. We have many years of experience in which we have established our leadership in the field of university-based continuing education. Our ambition is to provide outstanding quality to the highest international standards.

We identify and are deeply involved in current and future societal challenges and tailor our study programs to address them.

Our study model is oriented toward the specific requirements of adult learners in all phases of life and especially to the needs of working professionals. Innovative blended learning formats support part-time study for working professionals.

The (professional) experience of our students and teachers is embedded in our teaching and research activities and ensures an intense transfer of knowledge and skills.

We are committed to application-oriented and transdisciplinary research.

Our campus offers a service-oriented and inspiring working environment for our students and staff.
