The University of Technology Nuremberg is a new university that aims to prepare and train its students for the labor market of the future, acting as a driver for innovation for the metropolitan region of Nuremberg and enriching Bavaria as a center of science.

The focal point of UTN is the major social issues that are arising, which are addressed by technical science, natural science, humanities and social sciences, across all traditional disciplinary boundaries.

With the first foundation of a state-run university in Germany in almost 30 years, Bavaria is breaking new ground.

The strategic cornerstones of the new university are:

• Interdisciplinary exchange of technical and natural science with humanities and social sciences
• Research and teaching across all disciplinary boundaries
• Consistent end-to-end digitization of research, teaching and administration
• International expertise with strong regional roots
• The first genuine campus university in direct urban surroundings
• Innovative and lean governance with flat hierarchies
• Research, teaching and transfer of knowledge and technology in a harmonized approach
• Research-related and solution-oriented teaching with close interaction between teachers and students
• Focus on lifelong education based on learning opportunities which are both flexible in time and space
• Close interaction with regional and international universities and non-university research institutes and companies
• Systematic support of university spin-offs and innovation
