PFH Private University of Applied Sciences is committed to generating and disseminating knowledge while providing critical and interdisciplinary reflection on political, social and economic interests. Practical orientation in teaching and research, particularly in the fields of management, innovation and technology, is the overriding principle governing our actions. Through our application-oriented and practically relevant teaching in study programmes, we impart well-founded theoretical as well as practical knowledge and skills to both students in their initial training and working professionals in terms of lifelong learning, using a range of different teaching methods in on-campus and distance-learning courses while taking increasing digitisation into account.

PFH sees itself as an institution that recognises and values the diversity of all individuals and groups involved in it as potential. University management undertakes to ensure mutual esteem and respectful communication in working relations as fundamental to the sustainable development of PFH as a whole and its participants. Due to the enduring impact and practical orientation of the competencies that they acquire during their study programmes, our graduates are able to assume professional responsibility with particular alacrity or train for higher levels of responsibility within their companies. PFH thus sees itself as an interface between students as high potentials and the world of business.
