Episode 23: Celebrating One Year of Teaching at German UDS
In this episode of “From Campus to Cyber”, the Co-Presidents of the German University of Digital Science (German UDS) take you behind the scenes of a bold experiment that has become a real, accredited, fully operational university.
One year after launching its first programs, German UDS has grown into an internationally recognized digital institution—with six accredited Master’s and MBA programs, a global student body, and a virtual campus used every day.
In this honest and insightful conversation, Mike Friedrichsen and Christoph Meinel share:
- How the vision of a fully digital university became reality
- Why the German UDS was founded and what gap it fills in higher education
- What worked (and what didn’t!) during the first year of live operation
- How digital teaching, international cohorts, and AI-driven learning shape daily practice
- What comes next: new programs, research ideas, partnerships, and the future of Europe’s digital education landscape
