We see ourselves as a center for “hands-on” business competence

We create and distribute knowledge with practical significance at an academic level. Our participants evolve by learning to think and act in an entrepreneurial manner, and experience the joy of creativity and innovation. In addition, we combine career activities with academic instruction to prepare our students for their chosen fields, and to be the leaders of tomorrow.

Our graduates are well-prepared to make direct and profitable use of their acquired competence both for themselves and the organizations for which they work. With our programs they are able to reach their goals faster, better, easier and more efficiently.

We support personal development of our students not only by increasing subject knowledge and methodical competencies, but also by promoting personal and social competencies.

We bring together business and science

Through our partnerships with companies we are able to achieve a continuous transfer of knowledge in both directions. Companies and institutions benefit from our expert knowledge, our power of innovation, and our applied research.

We support regional growth through research and development and the direct transfer of knowledge and technology. Our special events and seminars dealing with the continuous exchange of economy and science energize the local community, connecting them to the larger global community of knowledge through our international partnerships and collaboration.

We have a high profile in education and research

We concentrate on a few business-related programs of study and strive to offer the very best teaching in these areas. In specified areas we conduct application-oriented research and develop solutions for problems from concrete professional practice. Our application-oriented research focus is also an essential element in our teaching and instruction, emphasizing the connection between theory and practice.

We are establishing programs with partner universities and businesses worldwide to support and encourage the international exchange of students and faculty, in order to provide new opportunities for cultural exchange in the areas of education, research and professional development.

We have a clear goal: successful graduates

Our responsibility as a credible academic institution means delivering concrete solutions based on current and cutting-edge scientific research. Achieving this also involves the development of basic knowledge, models for further exploration and analysis, consistent communication of work and methods with a focus on practical application.

Our professors combine latest scientific results with high practical relevance and meaning. Additional expertise from business and other scientific disciplines helps to bridge the gap between the theory and practice.

Our students who are working full-time bring have a high level of practical competence. We integrate the specific experiences of our students into the curriculum, which helps students to reflect and explore in greater depth, sharing knowledge and insights with each other.

In line with the problem-oriented format (e.g. case-study analysis), participants are able to bring in actual topics from their jobs. Lessons learned during studies can be transferred directly to their professional practice. In this way each learning unit provides new impulses for further applications within concrete professional contexts.

High Quality Education

We use the whole palette of teaching and learning methods, and continuously incorporate current developments in the field. Our educational concept makes it possible to actually enjoy learning. It fosters teamwork, integration of modern media, and above all the collaborative working together of motivated students and instructors with practical know-how.

Our university instructors combine current scientific knowledge with a strong practical focus. Additional experts in business and science provide a balance between theory and practice.

The high standard of our educational programs supports our claim of quality education. We measure our success against the success of our graduates in their chosen field, and the overall satisfaction of the students. Through regular external evaluation, we strive to continually improve our educational offerings.

Partnership means success

The keys to our success as an institution are the partnerships we create with our students and the people who work for us. We strive to provide an environment where effectiveness and motivation are supported by autonomy and responsibility, and enhanced by the network of inspiring and competent colleagues.

Each of our students bring with them their unique talents, potential, and aspirations, contributing to the depth and variety of collaboration. The relationships formed during programs of study continue into the future as our graduates are welcomed into our network of alumni.

We see ourselves as a “learning university”. Each person at UAM is working and striving toward continuous learning. The unique personal development of each employee is supported and encouraged.

The collaboration of colleagues, staff and students, as well as the relationship to stakeholders are promoted by candidness, confidence and commitment to excellence.

Our internal and external communication is characterized by transparency and openness, along with participation and cooperation. All of us at UAM are committed to these principles.
