The University of Public Administration in Kehl is one of the most renowned institutions of its kind in Germany. It was founded in 1971 and enlarged in the 1980s. Currently, the University employs 42 full-time professors and approximately 250 visiting lecturers.
Training the next generation for the public service
One of Kehl University’s priorities is to prepare its students for careers in public service. This means training students for positions at the management level in German public service, whether in state agencies and departments, in municipalities, in counties or in other public corporations, institutions and foundations subject to state supervision. The University cooperates closely with Ludwigsburg University of Public Administration and Finance. The graduates often take on management positions immediately after having finished the program, especially in smaller municipalities. Many mayors have completed his training for the management level in German public service, which also plays such an important role in larger municipalities and in the state administrative offices that one speaks here of the ‘backbone’ of administration.
Training staff of local and regional authorities
The second key task is to offer new training services for the staff of local and regional authorities. Associated with the university are the Kehl Academy for Advanced Training and the Euro-Institut Kehl-Strasbourg, which mainly trains public administration staff from France, Germany and Switzerland. Applied research is a key part conducted at the University’s Institute of Applied Research. It offers ENTO members, the Council of Europe and the European Union; the organization of international seminars and the summer school, expert missions, and cooperation in project research.
International partnerships
The University is twinned with various public and private institutions all over the world. The main activities resulting from this active partnership are exchanges of teachers and students, joint seminars and workshops, study visits and cooperative development of curriculum teaching materials. Training, organizational and staff development and project consulting are implemented at local, regional, national and European level.
