University of WuppertalAbout the
The University of Wuppertal is as a university, it is committed to the search for truth in full awareness of its social responsibilities. A cornerstone of its ethics is that the pursuit of knowledge can only be undertaken by free and self-determined persons, and hence the noblest task of academic teaching is to educate people to the responsible acquisition and application of knowledge. The University of Wuppertal is at the forefront of international research in various fields. At the same time, especially in the areas of training and transfer, it is aware of its regional roots. It sees its overall mission in the understanding and shaping of society, culture, technology and nature in their continuously changing forms. The University of Wuppertal understands university teaching as a process of dialogue between teachers and students. It sets great store on critical reflection, social judgment and empowerment to action in the service of education. It seeks to educate its employees as well as its students to the highest standards, so that they can fulfill their future tasks in a democratic society, in teaching and research, and in their individual professions.
Focus of Study : It is a central goal of the university to develop future-oriented research and teaching profiles that are on the one hand based on established strengths in specific fields, especially interdisciplinarity and innovation, and on the other open to the ongoing issues of education, knowledge and research. The continuous growth of academic and scientific excellence in the framework of the strategic focus areas outlined below entails increasing activity in the development of national and international networks. The university’s commitment to such development is based on the conviction that in the wake of increasing globalization the international exchange of experience, transnational research cooperation, and intercultural competence are of ever-increasing importance.
Benefit, Goal of this course : The University of Wuppertal is continuously developing its profile in research and teaching. This brings together existing strengths, releases new synergies and strengthens the visibility of our potential and achievements. The clear profile architecture supports the implementation of our principles: The University of Wuppertal focuses on positive distinctiveness, for increased regional, national and international attractiveness and charisma. It mobilises the potential of its members with a view to a clear resource orientation in the pursuit of common goals. The tried and tested and the new are wisely weighed against each other in the sense of a balance between stability and flexibility, in order to make use of innovations without rashly abandoning the established. Action at University of Wuppertal has a clear value reference: understanding society, culture, technology and nature as well as their change must go hand in hand with the endeavour to also help shape them and thus create a democratic, open and pluralistic society for future generations as well.
