Universität Konstanz

The University of Konstanz is comprised of thirteen departments that are divided into three faculties: the Faculty of Sciences, the Faculty of Humanities and the Faculty of Politics – Law – Economics. According to its original foundation as a reform university, the University of Konstanz does not have institutes or chairs. Since its foundation in 1966, the University of Konstanz has distinguished itself through its top-level research, excellence in teaching and studies, internationality and interdisciplinary collaboration. This visionary founding principle is even embedded in its architecture: the short distances and interlinked buildings of our campus university sustain an environment that facilitates communication, interlinks scientific disciplines and advances a culture of creative collaboration.
