Mission Statement

Cutting-edge research

As a research-oriented university, the WWU has made pioneering progress in numerous areas. Two Excellence Clusters, thirteen collaborative research centres (SFB), several research training groups and more than 25 research centres collectively advance inter- and transdisciplinary collaborative research and individual disciplinary research projects.

Promotion of junior researchers

The University of Muenster actively supports its junior researchers as part of its academic personnel development strategy. Career counselling and funding opportunities, structured doctoral programmes and qualification measures provide candidates with a more transparent and plannable career path into academia.

Studying and teaching

The University of Muenster is well-known for its large and distinguished faculties, such as Law and Medicine, but also for its so-called exotic subjects like Scandinavian Studies. The diverse and research-oriented course offerings attract several thousand students to Muenster each year.

Diversity and equal opportunity

The University of Muenster sees diversity as a strength that impacts all areas of university development and management. Appreciation and equal treatment of all employees and students regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, handicap, sexual orientation or religion are centrally important at the WWU.
