Protestant University of Applied Sciences

[EduCativ]

We are delighted that you have shown an interest in our university. The Eva RWL is a university whose departments focus on the problems encountered in the social and healthcare services, the diaconate, and church-based educational work. Eva has a clear protestant profile. Yet, at the same time, it promotes cultural diversity. Its high degree of specialization and its communicative working atmosphere are characteristics of our university.
International contacts are of significant importance to Eva. International orientation and interculturality are two essential elements of our university's profile and two of the particular focuses of its work. We greatly value our worldwide academic contacts, and we are also engaged in ecumenical dialogue. The Eva regards this to contribute to "the peaceful coexistence and integration of people of diverse backgrounds, religions, and cultures" highlighted in its mission statement. Multi-faceted globalization forms the backdrop for this international work. Within the scope of its abilities, Eva strives to set mutual understanding and cooperation strategies as alternatives to the merciless face of global competition.
Internationality and interculturality are dimensions of the education for the social professions that Eva offers. In addition to merely providing direct professional qualifications, Eva also sees itself as a place where people are
educated in living responsibly in the One World. We aim to promote and reinforce a fundamental attitude toward global citizenship. Our international academic contacts are a source of cultural exchange and facilitate knowledge transfer and participation in international research projects. We very much encourage you to get to know Eva and discover the great diversity that Bochum and the Ruhr Area offer.
We will be glad to offer you whatever support we can if you wish to spend an exchange semester at our university or complete your internship in the social sector via us. Over and above the cooperation links to foreign universities that are already in place, we are very interested in establishing further international contacts.
This Site offers essential information on the Eva RWL, and I hope it will whet your appetite for Eva's professional and cultural opportunities and its environment. Yours in anticipation of a lively and varied interchange.
