HEP 2023 – University Development Plan (HEP)
What impact is the coronavirus pandemic having on studying and Working at HM? How is the Hightech Agenda Bayern changing the balance between Teaching and Research? What implications do new federal policy objectives or the Bavarian Higher Education Innovation Act have for HM’s strategic direction? What role do cross-cutting issues such as digitalisation, internationalisation, sustainability, equality and entrepreneurship play in HM’s future development?
These and other questions are addressed in the revised edition of the University Development Plan (HEP), drawn up in 2022.
The HEP 2023 lays a solid foundation for the innovative development of HM.
It provides an opportunity to rethink the HM in new and different ways, whilst at the same time drawing practical conclusions in the form of specific packages of measures.
Furthermore, the HEP serves as a platform for a university-wide discussion process, during which the areas of teaching, research and knowledge transfer have been integrated with both the cross-cutting themes and the faculty development plans.
The HEP 2023 was approved by the University Council on 8 February 2023.
HEP structure
External and internal perspectives, together with HM’s self-image, form the strategic framework for the sub-strategies in this HEP.
External perspectives
External perspectives describe processes of transformation at the social, political, environmental and economic levels, within which HM assumes social responsibility.
Internal perspectives
Internal Perspectives describe the administrative framework governing matters related to students, finances and staffing, as well as the physical and IT infrastructure at HM.
About us
The 'About us' section outlines the institution’s historical foundations, the university environment, the HM brand and the profile of HM.
These areas of focus comprise the cross-institutional performance dimensions as well as administrative and governance structures. They provide guidance to cross-disciplinary themes and departments (including academic departments) regarding strategic objectives.
Teaching
Research
Transfers
Resources and processes
Organisation and management
The cross-cutting themes are university-wide priorities that engage all areas of activity and departments at both the content and structural levels. They provide impetus for the operationalisation of their sub-strategies at the level of specific objectives and measures.
Digitalisation
Internationalisation
Sustainability
Equality
Entrepreneurship
The 14 departments, together with the MUC.DAI interdisciplinary school, make HM a diverse and interdisciplinary university offering courses in the fields of technology, business, social sciences and design. Inspired and supported by the university-wide sub-strategies for the fields of action and cross-cutting themes, they have distinct profiles, which they set out in their respective faculty development plans.

Shareholding structure
The HEP process was characterised by a wide range of participatory and communication formats: numerous HM representatives were involved in cross-university working groups comprising members from the departments, the administration, the students, the university management and those responsible for cross-cutting issues.
A steering group comprising representatives from the University Council, the Senate, deans, women’s representatives, the administration, student representation, the Staff Council and academic staff reviewed and discussed the various sub-strategies.
