The University of Liechtenstein

Our Identity

We see ourselves as a modern university that engages with current social and economic developments. We are firmly rooted in the region, yet with students from over 40 countries and outstanding research achievements, we are internationally oriented.

We support the sustainable and responsible shaping of Liechtenstein's future in the digital age through regionally and internationally relevant research, education and continuing education, as well as knowledge and technology transfer. Together with our partners, we generate theoretical and practical knowledge to help shape Liechtenstein and the region in a proactive and forward-thinking manner.

We offer research, education and continuing education, as well as knowledge and technology transfer for a sustainable and responsible future. We achieve this by focusing on socially, ecologically, and socially relevant topics in the fields of business (with a focus on finance, entrepreneurship, and business informatics), business law, as well as architecture and spatial development. We see ourselves as a platform for the exchange of research and practice and thus strengthen Liechtenstein's competitiveness. We contribute to the availability of highly qualified specialists, especially for the country of Liechtenstein.
