Aimes & Values
Five guiding principles direct Ostfalia's current and future development. A brief overview:
Building knowledge, sparking enthusiasm
Inspring teaching, a commitment to learning, and application-oriented research are at the
heart of everything we do.
Leveraging potential, raising profiles
For our students and personnel, we do everything (possible) to create an ideal teaching
and research infrastructure as well as an environment that fosters personal initiative, a spirit of
trust, and readiness to take responsibility.
Taking new directions, crossing boundaries
Innovative action requires us to challenge old certainties and identify and overcome
boundaries – this shapes our approach to teaching, studying, and research.
Building networks, opening doors
We are a reliable partner for business, institutions, and public agencies. As a part of a
research and practice network, we are able to provide a plethora of opportunities for our students
and personnel.
Exemplifying diversity, providing opportunities
Our people's diversity is our asset. Their skills, personalities, and experiences
turn Ostfalia into a vibrant and dynamic place.
