We train more than specialists.
We train people.
We develop personalities who use their professional and interdisciplinary skills to play a responsible role in social, economic and ecological development.
We are a place for creating ideas, experimenting and participating
The individual person is at the center of all our activities.
With all their special characteristics, uniqueness and singularity.
In order to develop and promote the creativity, pioneering spirit and innovative potential of the individual and bring it into line with the needs of a rapidly changing economy and society, we rely on the interplay of diversity and individuality.
Diversity shapes our profile and is the key to future progress
We actively embrace the diversity of disciplines and their cooperation, the plurality of teaching and learning approaches, research focuses, personalities and points of view, educational and work biographies as well as transfer and interaction paths.
We promote participation and equal opportunities, tolerance and respect and create the basis for an appreciative approach to the diversity of world views and interests.
Our aim is to convey an awareness of complexity and an increased sensitivity for sustainable and responsible action.
We think holistically, networked and sustainably
