University of Lucerne

Schwerpunkt - Die Universität Luzern feiert Jubiläum – und ist in 20 Jahren  10 Mal grösser geworden


Mission

We are a university specialising in human sciences. We are interested in how people and their institutions behave, and how they experience their world, believe and hope, think and speak, govern and cooperate, make decisions and take action, and become and remain healthy.

This human sciences focus makes us the only university of this kind in Switzerland, but not on the planet.

We are rooted in central Switzerland and cannot achieve everything alone. We have therefore formed a network. Links with international organisations, leading university institutions and regional, and national and European partners enable us to have an impact that significantly exceeds our size.

Structure

We are divided into:

  • Six faculties (of Theology, Humanities and Social Sciences, Law, Economics and Management, Health Sciences and Medicine, Behavioural Sciences and Psychology)
  • Two academies (Graduate Academy, Further Education Academy)
  • Two planned university research centres (for Digitalisation and Health)

Services are pooled under university management and the Vice Rectors for University Development, Research, Teaching & International Relations, and Personnel and Professorships.

The University Council is the university’s top management and supervisory body. The rectorate is responsible for strategic and operational management, and represents the university in the outside world. Governance is via overall budgets and performance agreements – as is also the case between the supporting canton and the university as a whole.
