Liechtenstein Institute
As
scientific research institution, the Liechtenstein-Institute is
carrying out Liechtenstein-related research in the faculties of law,
political science, economics and social science as well as history.
Research results are presented to the public by means of publications,
lectures, seminars and courses.
The Liechtenstein-Institute is a
private, independent nonprofit association. It is financed through
state, communities and scientific support funds.
The bodies of
the Liechtenstein-Institute are the general meeting, the institute
advisory board, the scientific council, the extended scientific
council, the management and the control office.
Since the
opening of the Liechtenstein-Institute in 1987, the scientific council
has awarded more than a dozen research contracts to applicants holding
a doctorate or habilitation respectively.
Classes relating to current, Liechtenstein-relevant topics are organised as lecture series.
Currently, students participating in lectures and courses only receive a confirmation of participation.
University of Human Sciences in the Principality of Liechtenstein
The
University of Human Sciences (UFL) in the Principality of Liechtenstein
which was granted permission to teach in autumn of 2000 by the
Liechtenstein government, was approved tentatively in 2003 and
definitely in January 2007.
UFL offers a three to four term
postgraduate "Dr. scient. med." (scientific medicine) course of
studies. This postdoctoral course of studies is intended for medical
doctors and scientists who wish to obtain or expand their research
skills within the scope of their current or future activities,
providing them with a significantly improved professional outlook, in
particular in the academic-scientific area. The postgraduate
medical-scientific course of studies is designed as a part-time course
of studies; i. e. employment at a relevant institution is possible
while pursuing postdoctoral studies. However, employment is not a
prerequisite for admission. The study objective is the conveyance of
scientific research and work. The postdoctoral studies offer an ideal
supplement to the traditional main course of studies in the area of
medicine which in most countries is based primarily on preparatory and
practice-oriented knowledge. The postdoctoral studies at the University
for Human Sciences are therefore an ideal prerequisite for the
professional development in research as well as for academia.
The
UFL has been offering an executive master’s course of studies in
mediation (Executive Master in Mediation) with emphasis on practical
applications since the 2005/06 academic year. Upon completion, the
participants, mostly specialists and managers in the fields of law,
human resources, psychology and social work will have a well-founded
theoretical knowledge and practical skills which are applied and
deepened during the training in the form of role plays as well as
during a one-week placement in the USA.
Starting
in the 2006/07 academic year, the UFL has been offering a three
semester executive master’s course of studies in property law
(Executive Master in property law LL.M). The course of studies is
mainly based on knowledge transfer by highly qualified lecturers and
includes group and project work, case studies, instructions on self
tutorials, judicature and literature analyses as well as practical
application of the knowledge on the occasion of company visits. The
complete program is divided into different modules arranged by topics.
