- Witten/Herdecke University
Witten/Herdecke University (UWH) is a private university in Witten, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Unlike most other German universities, it is a private enterprise with about 1100 students and 400 employees. The second part of its name is derived from the neighbouring town of Herdecke, where the founders of the "Gemeinschaftskrankenhaus Herdecke" invented the idea of the university.
According to their mission statement, UWH "develops and tests new forms of teaching and learning, designs new curricula and novel approaches in research, and explores innovative paths in university organization." Witten/Herdecke University is one of the best universities in business economics and medicine field. It hosts the first program of traditional chinese medicine in Germany as well as a program for anthroposophical medicine.
In chronological order, UWH formed these four schools:
* Faculty of Medicine
* Faculty of Economics and Management
* Faculty of Dental Medicine
* Faculty of Liberal Arts and Humanities
* Faculty of Life Science
It was recognized by the Federal Government as a university in 1982. Only in 2001 was UWH accepted as a member of the Rector's Association of German Universities.
The Founding President Dr. Konrad Schily (now also member of the German Bundestag) is the brother of the politician Otto Schily.
