Goals & Strategy

For us as a university, democratic thinking is the cornerstone of our actions. We are proud of our exciting and colourful student and staff body, which lives tolerance and mutual respect.

Studying at Ostfalia means learning in close connection with practice right from the start. In addition to a sound academic programme, our students are also trained in important future skills that are indispensable for their future jobs. In this way, we help to promote sustainable, environmentally aware, networked and interdisciplinary behaviour among our students.

In all our areas - teaching, research studies and organisation - we value the critical questioning of our actions and promote innovative and promising ideas that open up new paths.

  1. We train competent personalities for the working world of tomorrow.

  2. We are strengthening our focus on the future topics of sustainability, digital transformation and mobility.

  3. We accompany social change.

  4. Our teaching and research is interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary.

  5. We are a reliable partner for regional development.

  6. We network - internally, regionally, nationally and internationally.

  7. We promote equal opportunities at the university and in society.

  8. We work in an agile, creative, collaborative and solution-orientated way.

  9. We stand for a basic understanding of democracy and respectful, tolerant interaction with one another.
