Introduction to sustainable development

The topic of sustainability is present in all of our degree programmes and anchored in the course content. This includes mandatory modules across all study programmes, which ensure that all students share a common (systemic) understanding of sustainability.

We are international, diverse and equal

Respect, recognition and appreciation

Our global networks and collaborations promote multifaceted teaching and connect institutions and people. In this way, we contribute to cosmopolitanism in the region and actively participate in the discourse on shaping a global sustainability transformation. Respect, recognition and appreciation are prerequisites for a motivating learning environment.
