10. ermany's education
Gsystem has long
been recognized for
its top-notch quality and
high standards, making it a
prime destination for
students seeking a world-
class education. With its
renowned schools,
exceptional quality of life,
and abundant professional
opportunities, Germany has
become a hot spot for
international students from
around the globe.
But what sets Germany's
education system apart is
not just its traditional
universities and research
institutions but also its
robust network of
specialized universities of
applied sciences. For
instance, Kiel University of
Applied Sciences (Kiel
UAS) is a shining example of
the country's commitment
to innovation and excellence
in education.
Founded in 1969 as a
result of the merger of
several state engineering
schools and higher technical
colleges, Kiel UAS has since
grown to become the largest
and most versatile
university of applied
sciences in the state of
Schleswig-Holstein. With
over 7,900 students
enrolled across six
departments, Kiel UAS is
dedicated to offering
cutting-edge programs that
prepare students for the
ever-evolving demands of
the job market.
The university takes pride
in its reputation as a center
for innovation and
creativity, but it also
recognizes the need to
adapt to the changing needs
of industry and society.
Through ongoing efforts to
improve its programs and
stay at the forefront of
technological advances, Kiel
UAS is helping to shape the
future of education and
innovation in Germany and
beyond.
In its more than 40
bachelor's and master's
degree programs, the
university offers young
people, the specialists of
tomorrow, the best possible
education - within the
framework of various study
models, some of which are
also part-time. As a
university of applied
sciences, it focuses above all
on a strong practical
orientation. Its professors
know the working world
outside the university from
many years of professional
experience and are happy to
pass on their valuable
practical experience during
their studies. Thanks to
excellent facilities, students
get to know the tools,
machines and digital tools -
especially in technical
courses of study - during
their education so that they
can later shape their
futures.
Ensuring Better Futures
At an early stage, Kiel UAS
helps students establish
contacts with interesting
companies and institutions.
During internships and
project work, they get to
know employers in the
region and can use this
pro itably during the
transition from study to
work. After graduation, two-
thirds of graduates already
ind regular employment
within three months.
Some of them even sign
their employment contracts
before they have their
degree certi icate in their
hands. Because studying
should be an exciting time
full of new impressions, the
university offers its
students a lot outside the
curriculum.
During the
Interdisciplinary Weeks in
the middle of each semester,
they gain insights into other
disciplines, acquire
language skills and deal
with topics that are not on
the curriculum. If they
would like to broaden their
horizons through a stay
abroad, the Kiel UAS helps
them organize a semester at
one of its 124 partner
universities - including the
possibility of earning an
international double
degree.
Developing a Lively
Campus
The university is also
continuing to develop a
lively campus directly on
the river of Schwentine and
the Kiel Fjord in line with
the times. Many students
choose to get to the campus
by ferry – quite a unique
experience.
In addition to the
Velocampus, which makes
Kiel UAS even more
accessible, especially for
public transport and bikes,
it is also particularly
looking forward to Library
Learning Center. In the
future, this will provide
students with a place that
will enable individual and
collaborative learning and
work in an open
environment.

12. The vision of the
university is to be the
university of excellence for
teaching in northern
Germany!
Its mission is to empower
students at Kiel UAS to
develop and achieve their
goals by providing them
with the upwind required.
Demonstrating Science-
Based Approaches
For Kiel UAS, excellent
teaching is interdisciplinary,
practice-oriented, based on
research and science, and
characterized by its
internationality and the
wide range of methods
used.
The teaching at the
university is practice-
oriented since it
demonstrates science-based
approaches to answering
questions and solving
problems in society and the
economy.
Due to its diverse
scienti ic disciplines and
numerous collaborations
with international partners,
the university enables the
potential of
interdisciplinary and
international teaching and,
in doing so, changes
perspectives for teachers
and students.
From this point of view,
excellent teaching also
means focusing on the
continuous implementation
of diverse teaching and
learning methods that allow
the university to align with
individual teaching and
learning opportunities and
the needs of all groups at
the university. Integrated
internships and the
practical relevance of
project reports and thesis
papers submitted by
students strongly enhance
the hands-on approach to
teaching.
Enhancing Professional
Competencies
The graduates of the
university have a well-
founded and wide range of
professional competence in
their specializations as well
as good key competencies
(soft skills). They pursue
solution-oriented
approaches, work well in
teams, respect other
perspectives and cultures,
and assist in actively
shaping their social
environment.
Recognizing Special Needs
Graduates of Kiel UAS are
quali ied to adapt to the
changing demands of
professional life and life-
long learning. (Master's)
Programmes serve to
recognize the special need
for executives and skilled
professionals in enterprises
and organizations.

14. In addition, the graduates
acquire comprehensive soft
skills and methodical
competencies. They act in a
solution-oriented manner,
are open to criticism, and
are able to understand
other theories and academic
disciplines. Moreover, they
excel in open-mindedness, a
sense of responsibility, and
tolerance.
The university
incorporates relevant
developments in science,
society and the economy
and implements them in
future-oriented study
programmes. Kiel UAS sees
itself as an innovative
pacemaker for Schleswig-
Holstein.
Managing Innovation
Kiel University of Applied
Sciences adapts to social
developments and responds
to them with attractive
study programmes, e.g.
Multimedia Production,
Childhood Pedagogy,
Physiotherapy, Data Science,
Industrial Engineering,
Digital Business
Management or Business
Information Systems.
This capacity is further
developed based on its
interdisciplinary
competence to become an
outstanding feature in
managing innovation. When
creating study programmes,
the university takes into
account the dynamic
development of the regional
labour market and quali ies
graduates accordingly.
Ensuring a High Scienti ic
Level of Teaching
The practice-oriented
research and development
is the foundation for
excellent teaching at this
university. It is a reliable
and innovative partner for
businesses and non-pro it
organizations.
Pursuing own research
and development activities
ensures a high scienti ic
level of teaching. The
expertise of high-
performing institutions
such as the Institute for CIM
Technology Transfer and
the Research &
Development Centre FH Kiel
GmbH is at University's
disposal to develop
innovative solutions on a
high scienti ic level for
enterprises and non-pro it
organizations.
In doing so, the university
has been able to provide the
required cutting-edge
teaching and transfer this
knowledge into society.
Following this aim, it shall
further avail itself of
interdisciplinary
competencies. Furthermore,
the university is convinced
that the unlimited creation
of new knowledge acquired
Kiel UAS is a reliable
and innovative partner
for businesses and non-
profit organizations.

15. Promoting Regional
Strengths
The university uses its
international orientation to
promote its regional
strengths. It continues to
expand its cooperation with
other universities,
organizations and
companies.
The regional mission
obliges the university to
equip its graduates and
partners in research and
development with the
knowledge they can build
upon in a global world.
Therefore, it actively
promotes mobility and the
exchange of students and
lecturers and perceives
itself as part of the
international scienti ic
community.
Maintaining Collaborative
Environment
The university is aware that
ef icient research and
development can only be
conducted within an
alliance. Therefore, it
collaborates with other
universities, research and
development institutions,
enterprises, and non-pro it
organizations, e.g. Centre of
Excellence for Renewable
Energies and Climate
Protection of Schleswig-
Holstein.
Cooperation is not limited
to R&D activities, however,
but covers teaching as well,
which the university can
by free research is also
necessary to gain a high
academic level in teaching
and technology resp.
knowledge transfer.
In addition, excellent
practice-oriented research
and development is a
necessary pre-requisite for
the acquisition of third-
party funds, the reputation
of the Kiel University of
Applied Sciences and the
recruitment and retention
of highly quali ied scientists.

Expanding
Internationalism
Globalization strongly
impacts society's political,
social, ecological, and
economic framework.
Therefore, Kiel UAS regards
internationalization to be a
cross-cutting task affecting
teaching, research,
knowledge transfer,
continuous education, and
administration. Therefore,
the university promotes and
is expanding its inter-
national relationships with
universities, enterprises,
and organizations.
The university thrives on
diversity. It creates
educational processes that
are gender-appropriate,
intercultural, and non-
discriminatory.
Developing Inclusive
Culture
Diversity in practice is a
quality feature of the
university and includes a
diversity of disciplines,
cultures, nationalities, and
learning and teaching
methods, which it
experiences to be enriching
and fostering.
Diversity challenges the
university to take different
perspectives and respect
them. Gender-appropriate
teaching and research are
essential components of the
university. It experiences
the diversity of people to be
enriching. All people
studying or working at the
Kiel University of Applied
Sciences experience the
best possible conditions to
develop themselves and

Computer Museum, the
Media Dome and the
Observatory, the Bunker-D
as well, and the old Howaldt
Foundry House nearby have
enabled the university to
become a supporter of
culture in the urban district
of Kiel-Dietrichsdorf and on
the eastern bank of the Kiel
Fjord.
The intention is to
expand this task and make
it a university characteristic.
Practical diversity and the
cultural mission allow the
university to provide
educational processes for
the members that go far
beyond the acquisition of
employability.
Making the Learning
Process More Interesting

Strategies for Success
Mastering
the Art of
in Business
Negotiation

23. Article
The Education View September 2023

24. he art of negotiation
Tis a complex and
multi-faceted skill
that is indispensable for
thriving in the business
world. It involves
communicating effectively,
understanding the needs
and interests of all parties
involved, and inding
creative solutions to
problems.
Whether one is seeking to
close a lucrative deal, foster
a bene icial partnership, or
resolve a dispute,
negotiation is the key to
success in any business
scenario. By mastering the
art of negotiation, one can
establish himself as a skilled
and respected professional
capable of quickly and
con idently navigating the
most challenging business
situations.
Understanding the Basics
Negotiation is a complex
and multifaceted process
involving exchanging ideas,
information, and proposals
between two or more
parties to reach an
agreement or resolve a
con lict. It is not simply a
matter of making a deal but
a delicate balance of
communication,
compromise, and strategic
thinking.
To become an effective
negotiator, one must
understand the critical
elements at play, including
the ability to actively listen,
communicate effectively,
empathize with others, and
maintain an acute
awareness of the interests
and priorities of all parties
involved. By developing
these skills, negotiators can
build trust, create value, and
achieve mutually bene icial
outcomes.
Active Listening
One of the most
underestimated yet crucial
aspects of negotiation is
active listening. To
understand the needs and
concerns of the other party,
one must listen attentively.
This involves hearing the
words spoken, grasping the
underlying emotions and
motivations, and
demonstrating genuine
interest in the perspectives
of others to build trust and
lay the foundation for a
more collaborative
negotiation process.
Effective Communication
Clear and concise
communication is
paramount in negotiation.
Clearly articulate the needs,
expectations, and
limitations. Be mindful of
body language and tone;
these non-verbal cues can
convey as much information
as words. Additionally,
encourage open
communication from the
other party to ensure all
relevant information is on
the table.
Negotiation Strategies for
Success
Having a set of effective
negotiation strategies can
signi icantly enhance the
chances of success in
various business scenarios.
Let's explore some key
strategies:
BATNA (Best Alternative
to a Negotiated
Agreement)
Before entering into any
negotiation, it is essential to
identify BATNA. This is the
fallback position if the
current negotiation does
not yield a satisfactory
agreement. Knowing that
BATNA gives con idence and
leverage during
negotiations, as it provides
a clear benchmark against
which one can evaluate
proposed deals.
Win-Win Collaboration
Successful negotiation is not
about defeating the other
party but inding mutually
bene icial solutions. Strive
for a win-win outcome
where both parties feel
satis ied with the results.
This collaborative approach
fosters positive long-term
relationships and increases
the likelihood of future
cooperation.
Information is Power
The more information is
provided, the better
equipped one is to negotiate
effectively. Conduct
thorough research on the
other party, understand
industry standards, and
gather relevant data to
support the position.
Knowledge empowers
individuals to make
informed decisions and
strengthens their
negotiating stance.
Embrace Flexibility
Rigidity can be a hindrance
in negotiations. Be open to
alternative solutions and
lexible in approach.
Sometimes, unexpected
opportunities or challenges
arise during negotiations,
and adapting to changing
circumstances is a valuable
skill.
Patience and Timing
Patience is a virtue in
negotiation. Avoid rushing
the process, and allow time
for careful consideration of
proposals. Additionally,
timing plays a crucial role.
Choose the right moment to
present the case or
counteroffer, considering
the other party's emotional
state and receptiveness.
Build and Maintain
Relationships
Successful negotiation
extends beyond the
immediate deal at hand.
Building and maintaining
positive relationships with
other businesses and
individuals in the industry
can open doors to future
opportunities. A reputation
for fairness and integrity
can contribute to long-term
success in negotiations.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
In pursuing successful
negotiation, one must know
common pitfalls that can
undermine the efforts.
Lack of Preparation
Inadequate preparation can
leave one at a disadvantage
during negotiations.
Thoroughly research the
other party, anticipate
potential challenges, and be
well-versed in negotiating
details.

Strategies for Success

25. T H E
Overlooking the Human
Element
Negotiations involve people,
and emotions can in luence
decisions. Failing to
consider the human
element can lead to
misunderstandings and
breakdowns in
communication. Empathy
and emotional intelligence
are vital for navigating the
human aspects of
negotiation.
Neglecting Relationship
Building
Building a positive
relationship with the other
party contributes to a more
collaborative negotiation
environment. Neglecting
relationship building can
result in a lack of trust,
making it challenging to
reach mutually bene icial
agreements.
Conclusion
In the dynamic business
world, mastering the art of
negotiation is a continuous
learning process. One can
navigate negotiations
con idently and inesse by
embracing effective
communication, active
listening, and strategic
thinking.
Remember, successful
negotiation is not about
winning at the expense of
the other party but about
building sustainable
relationships and achieving
outcomes that bene it all
involved. As one applies
these strategies, one will be
better equipped to face the
challenges of business
negotiations and forge
successful partnerships in
today's competitive
landscape.
