Mission statement

Reutlingen University sees itself as one of the leading German institutes of higher education. It offers technical, economic and interdisciplinary programs, and considers the interaction between these areas of study as essential for an education that will ensure a secure future for our graduates. The University offers both undergraduate and postgraduate programs, as well as further career education at the academic level.

It is important to us to develop the identity of the students, so that they gain not only professional, but also social competence, a sense of social responsibility and the ability to see the wider picture.

We endeavour to achieve external and internal transparency. The results of our endeavours are constantly monitored. We place a high value on effective management and on communication within the university.


Reutlingen University is committed to upholding this mission statement. It is our belief that the strategic approach set out here underlines this University's status as an attractive, competent partner for both students and the business community, and that this will be further developed both nationally and internationally.
