We equip our students with future skills!

Recent political, demographic, technological and ecological changes will result in major disruptions to labor markets creating new jobs and transforming how and where people do their jobs. This will change the necessary skill sets which means that we need to pay more attention to life-long learning, re-skilling and up-skilling more than ever before.

We adopted an education philosophy to equip students with these future skills. We believe that the future of work requires people who are sensitive to the complex, ever-changing needs of human beings, societies and the planet and who are able to develop innovative solutions to these needs.  Our varied and flexible curriculum which offers electives from astronomy to innovation, from popular culture to ecology and planetary thinking promotes a vibrant inter-disciplinary education supporting critical, ethical and creative thinking.

We believe in the value of asking questions as well providing answers. We think that application matters as much ideas. For that reason, we extensively use experiential learning methods, simulations, cases and applied projects in our teaching. By providing opportunities for productive and effective internships, our students gain work experience before graduating. With wide range of double major and minor degree opportunities and cross-faculty electives we equip our students with the skills to study work phenomena from different disciplinary angles and make creative connections.

We are dedicated to scholarly excellence. Our faculty is exceedingly productive in terms of research, they publish their work in highly reputable international academic journals and present their work at prestigious academic conferences. In addition to creating knowledge research which contributes to the development of science, our faculty is very active in transferring this knowledge to private and public enterprises and NGOs through applied projects.

We are very proud to contribute to the development academic, business and social life with our undergraduate and graduate programs, life-long learning activities and research projects since the establishment of our university. We invite you to be part of this development.
