应用科学大学50年:德国应用型高校的成功模式及其发展前景

On the 50 Years for Universities of Applied Sciences:Classification and Perspectives of a German Model of Success

2019年,德国的应用科学大学在联邦总统施泰因迈尔的支持下庆祝他们成立50周年。1969年至2019年间,德国的应用科学大学经历了高度动态的发展,并迅速地成长了起来,现已成为支撑德国高等教育体系的一根支柱。这些大学借助他们拥有多年丰富实践经验的教授,以及与区域经济界和社会各界进行密切合作、实施应用导向型的人才培养模式,在国际上建立了良好的声誉。为了使应用科学大学能够在未来的教学、研究、继续教育和知识转化领域成功完成法律赋予他们的更多使命,还需要努力进行改革。应用科学大学只有在不抛弃其特色、获取与综合大学同等地位的情况下才能充分发挥其潜力。只有这样,通常对这两种类型高校常做出的描述"不同类但同等"才是恰当的。

In 2019,the German universities of applied sciences will celebrate their fiftieth anniversary under the patronage of President Steinmeier.Between 1969 and 2019,these universities have undergone a highly dynamic development and grown rapidly,which have become a core pillar of the German higher education system.With their professors,who have many years of practical experience,and their applied teaching model,which is based on close cooperation with the regional economy and societal players,they have developed an excellent reputation far beyond the German borders.For these universities to be able to successfully fulfill their extended statutory educational mandate in the areas of teaching,research,further education and transfer in the future too,important reforms are needed.Universities of applied sciences will only be able to fully exploit their potentials if they are equated to the status of universities without giving up their specific profile.Only then could the relationship of both types of higher education with the frequently quoted formula of"equivalence,but otherness"be correctly described.
