Trying to respond to the needs of society & the labour market we think that international activities, like mobility for students and staff, will help to get prepared for / work at the international labour market and to be a responsible and contributing citizen. Tutoring and helping our students to get the maximum out themselves is a leading. We want to know our students and together we work to explore the talents and develop these.
