\nwith a history of relations to other countries across the globe.<\/p>\n

We are a campus university. This means that our staff and students form a trusting, tolerant, multi-cultural, and cooper -
\native community. We want to offer each member of this community holistic support, based on gender equality as well as
\nrespect for other religions, world views, and cultures. Our wide-open campus structure, embedded in nature, helps to
\nachieve our goal of creating a family-friendly environment compatible with a life that combines studies, family, and profession.<\/p>\n

We are committed to presenting our students with foundations of their respective
\nfields as well as the latest contributions to research. It is the goal of
\nour teaching to combine research and applied expertise so that students will
\nbe excellently equipped to meet the requirements of their profession. In addition,
\nwe offer continuing education and advanced training in the sense of life-long learning. Professors as well as students
\ncontribute to scholarly discourse through publications.
\nOur research and teaching are based on Christian ethics with a holistic and inter-disciplinary orientation, forming a unit.<\/p>\n

Society and Spirituality<\/h3>\n

We are convinced that faith, education, and living are inseparable.
\nIn all our dealings, we strive to reflect a faith based on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this reason, we promote
\npersonal identity formation through encouragement and empowerment for self-reflection. Likewise, it is our
\ngoal to accompany the development of the church and society in a constructive and critical manner. In this all-encompassing
\nsense, we as a university community strive to fulfill our commission.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
