Dear students, dear staff, dear guests,

You have expressed interest in general English conversation. We are happy to offer a get-together of anyone wishing to make use of 1 1/2 hours of discussing the main points of our overall concept (Leitbild, in case you're wondering!). For a session which might only be our first we have chosen this topic, because it is of very current relevance to our university and because we have all had many discussions about it in German. This way we can include our foreign students and at the same time talk about our concept in preparation for discussion with foreigners outside our university or abroad.

We invite you to the library on Wednesday, December 15 from 5:15 to 6:45 p.m.

Prof. Dr. Dorothea Hegele and Carmen Nemeth

Overall concept (Leitbild) of the University of Applied Sciences Emden/Leer:

Our university and its campus: Our campus offers short distances between students and lecturers and thrives on its personal atmosphere. We aim at a strong feeling of belonging and are proud of our motivated staff. The students are always at the core of our activities. Our campus is lively and there is always time for public discussion and academic discourse.

Societal responsibility and sustainability: The university takes on responsibility for sustainable development within our society. We want our students to be able to meet future challenges in accordance with the principles of sustainability. Our research is oriented towards helping to solve global problems in technology, economy and society. As an institution, we would like to support sustainable development particularly in our own region.

The university offers regional incentives: We actively support the technological, economic and social development of the northwestern region. Our work offers incentives for education in East Frisia and helps build up and maintain scientific networks. At the same time we represent our region nationally and internationally in the realms of education and research. Our university and its surroundings work closely together for the best possible results.

Interdisciplinary and international setup: We aim at expanding interdisciplinary and international cooperation in lecturing and research activities. We want to set the stage for an international atmosphere and a wealth of cultural activities on campus.

Our students: In lecturing, our main goal is to take care of our students intensively and individually. We want to give them the qualifications to graduate successfully and enable them to take on responsible positions in businesses and organizations. We support them in developing their personality during the time they are with us.

Our staff: Our staff is our team. We want to offer them job security and a place in which they can work along the guidelines of our overall concept with the highest degree of qualification and motivation possible. We try to create an atmosphere of professional freedom that caters to their individual needs.
