Our mission statement
The mission statement of Mainz University of Applied Sciences is a roadmap for continuous quality improvement as part of a university audit and is therefore subject to dynamic development.
The mission statement as a university audit
Our mission statement consists of twelve guiding principles on relevant core university policy issues such as teaching, research and transfer. The university administration decides in an annual cycle which of the listed objectives are to be developed further with which desired results. This means that the objectives set out in the mission statement are subject to continuous review, have to prove themselves explicitly in the "acid test" of practical application and have immutable consequences for university policy (employment policy, for example). The university can thus carry out a permanent strength/weakness analysis, successively set new goals, create new structures for their implementation and document the solutions.
