Civic engagement includes permanent or temporary activities of self-organisation in political, social or convivial associations, organisations and federations. In essence, it is about conscious action as a citizen and member of a community and about responsibility for others, tolerance, solidarity and consideration in various areas of society. A responsible and active citizenship in this sense forms the basis of democratically constituted societies. The aim of the university is, in addition to the professional education, to enable the students to act responsibly in all areas of society, which is why it expressly approves and promotes civic commitment during their studies.
