It is UCN’s mission to engage in Real Life Education. To us, Real Life Education means:

• In close interaction with practice we educate our students so that they can act and reflect on concrete problems and challenges in professions and industries
• We challenge real life and contribute to setting new standards in the professions and industries for which we educate the students, through collaboration on education, continuing and further education as well as research and development projects

UCN is thus to develop, facilitate and convey value-added learning, competences and knowledge for, in collaboration with, and across professions and industries. With its regional base UCN has a special task of educating its students and developing its activities in collaboration with professions and industries in Northern Jutland.
