Wings – Wismar International Graduation Services - a subsidiary of Wismar University – University of Applied Sciences offers part-time learning study programmes and certifies further educations for working professionals. The study programmes are offered in the fields of economy, technology and design through which participants can gain a higher public education degree such as a Bachelor, Diploma (FH) or Master. The distance learning centre at Wismar University was founded in 1952. WINGS was based on this and was set up in April 2004. The primary tasks of WINGS are to develop, organise and market the part- time learning and further educational programmes under the academic expertise of Wismar University. Wismar University is an advanced and innovative education and research institution having over 100-years of academic excellence. It is an international University that is practice and business oriented with over 8,500 students studying both on-campus and through part time learning. Every part-time student is enrolled as a regular student at Wismar University and is extensively and individually supported by WINGS based on his/her particular needs. This strengthens our concept of optimising the students’ needs to work in their profession whilst studying and combines the following 4 components: self-study, on campus seminars over selected periods during the semester, online conferences and access to the online-campus database. Due to several contacts in Europe, the Baltic region, America, Latin America, Asia and in particular South-East-Asia, a variety of intercultural characteristics can be distinctively found in our research and teaching methods. Currently we have students from all over the world who are participating in our part-time study programmes. With more than 4,900 students, WINGS has become one of the leading „Work and Study“ providers in Germany.
