EUR positions itself as an international knowledge workshop for critical thinking and academic training, driven by a strong focus on current social issues. The university has some 3,500 academics and staff involved in teaching and research delivery, and more than 20,000 students enrolled in pre- and post-experience programmes. Some 2,400 of these students are international and their number is growing each academic year. 

The university concentrates its expertise on issues of management, organisation and policy in the public and private sectors, as well as on the field of sickness and health care. The university’s education and research is divided into three domains:

The university counts as its core tasks: to generate knowledge from research, to share knowledge in education and to transfer knowledge to the community. Its driving forces are academic curiosity, critical reflection and social engagement.
