The ZWW is committed to ensuring that the education it offers meets scientific and academic standards. As part of this commitment, the ZWW fosters close connections between professional practice and academic studies through research-based teaching and learning. For this purpose, it translates Humboldt’s ideal of the unity of teaching and research into modern formats of reflexive skills development. By taking an academic approach to their professional practice, our postgraduate students can achieve greater levels of reflection and benefit from new ways of developing responsible and purposeful leadership skills. In this sense, HSU/UniBw H considers itself responsible for widening the academic horizons of its postgraduate students in their professional practice.
The ZWW attaches great importance to the high quality of personalised higher education as part of lifelong learning. Lifelong learning is thus designed to focus on student needs and skills acquisition. It meets the requirements of both the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) and the German Qualifications Framework for lifelong learning (DQR). In accordance with the European and German qualifications frameworks for lifelong learning, the Master’s programmes apply appropriate didactic concepts to help the students develop knowledge, capabilities and skills. In-person seminars, working groups and workshops are combined with online-based blended learning, thus enabling students to achieve their learning objectives and results at their own pace.
To achieve this aim, both teaching and learning at the ZWW are subject to constant quality assurance and professional further development on the basis of evaluation and accreditation procedures. The ZWW and its lecturers champion modern and innovative teaching in higher education and are committed to the quality standards of higher education didactics.
