Further training and personnel development

Our continuing education and personnel development programs offer our university employees the opportunity to continuously expand their professional expertise and personal skills and to adapt to the dynamic requirements of the university sector.

Through targeted training, workshops and networking, Osnabrück University promotes the individual career development of all target groups and thus also strengthens the competitiveness of the entire institution. The offers are based on the idea of lifelong learning and the strategic goals of the university.
