Universities are competing over reputation, talent, and funding both nationally and internationally. We embrace this challenge by following our own approach: the “Bielefeld Way” brings together forward-looking research and innovative teaching and learning formats with well-founded political and societal aims, aligning these with our university’s individual strengths and goals.
With the “Bielefeld Way,” we are developing a trademark identity that highlights and integrates the unique features of our campus.
Together with the Vice Rectors, and by pursuing a participatory process, we are well on our way towards making the university an outstanding and compelling academic institution, one marked by a distinctive culture and academic profile.
