Improve teaching and capacity development and their relevance and recognition.

Other Information:

“The United Nations University shall be an international community of scholars engaged in research, postgraduate training and the dissemination of knowledge….” (UNU Charter, Article 1, paragraph 1) Since its establishment, the UNU has been engaged in different kinds of teaching activities. Today it offers many programmes of shorter or longer duration for which it issues a certificate. Members of UNU are also engaged in Master’s or Ph.D. programmes of other universities, but these programmes are never considered as being offered by UNU itself. This is one of the main reasons why UNU has not yet found a worldwide reputation as a leading graduate institution.
