The Steinbeis philosophy: studying with impact

Our set of values
In times of constant change, we are constantly faced with new, sometimes major challenges. We can effectively meet them by equipping ourselves with the skills and competencies necessary to constructively deal with new things and find creative solutions that ultimately lead to new and relevant developments.
Steinbeis University is based on values that our namesake, Ferdinand von Steinbeis, exemplified: inspiration, innovation and action. Ferdinand von Steinbeis is considered the father of dual education; he attached great importance to the achievements of science for industrial progress and social life. As head of the central office for trade and commerce, he therefore developed concepts as early as the mid-19th century for the practice-oriented technology transfer that was implemented long after his time.

The culture of transfer
At Steinbeis University, we live the basic idea of Ferdinand von Steinbeis, to put researched and learned knowledge into practice. With the development of well-founded competencies among our students, we want to make a contribution to companies and society and promote the transfer of scientific theory into relevant practice. We attach great importance to a lively intellectual and scientific exchange – a transfer of ideas between lecturers, companies and students as well as with other universities and research institutions.
This exchange not only promotes interpersonal relationships, but also excellence. Ideas grow in the transfer of ideas, which become impulses for important innovations. And connections are created that often last a lifetime, a strong network of skills. So it is no wonder that our alumni remain connected even after many years – with each other and with their university.
