With faculties in engineering, business, computer science and life sciences, the university contributes to strengthening innovation in the Four Country Region Bodensee. It is part of the International Lake Constance University, a cross-border network of 30 colleges and universities in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.

Kairos University

At its core, Kairos University (Sioux Falls, SD, United States) stewards the younger generation to move to leadership positions in their vocation and discover the linkages to their Christian faith. The university is proud of pioneering education for more than 160 years. In the 21st century, Kairos reinvented itself completely. Today, it is one of the most innovative universities of its kind in the United States, regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission in Chicago, and having created an impressive DNA in work-integrated learning like IBR.

As academic mode, Kairos University values deep mentorship of students, honours the input of a student’s local community of faith and vocational context, and focuses on the development of competencies needed for someone to flourish in their current or desired vocation. It is a movement – a community of people with a shared set of values that is discerning, responding to, and participating in the work God is doing at the students’ workplace.
