Organisation

In October 2007 the University of Freiburg was selected by the German government to become one out of 9 "excellence universities". This demonstrates its top position among German universities, also documented in nationwide rankings.

Besides its excellence in research and teaching, the scholarly diversity is above all what attracts so many students to Freiburg`s Alma Mater. The University of Freiburg consists of 11 Faculties, which offer degree programmes in theology, mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, pharmacy, geo sciences, forestry, computer science and microsystems engineering. The university library holds more than two million volumes as well as multimedia facilities.

All students have the opportunity to join the General University Sports Association, which offers 35 different kinds of sports. Besides the university, quite a number of other institutes of higher education can be found in Freiburg. The State College for Music, the College of Pedagogy, and the Catholic and Protestant Colleges of Social Pedagogy offer their services in teaching and research. There are also highly esteemed research institutes situated in Freiburg, including five research institutes of the Fraunhofer Society and two Max-Planck Institutes.

Study in Freiburg

Freiburg is one of the most beautiful and attractive cities in Germany. It is small enough to make you feel at home, but at the same time it is big enough to be lively and international. The city has approximately 200,000 inhabitants.

Its history reaches back to the Middle Ages which one becomes very aware of when strolling the small lanes of the old part of the town. Freiburg offers a wide range of cultural attractions, such as theatres, concerts, ballet, modern dance, music festivals, all kinds of museums, exhibitions, etc. Moreover, there is a broad and varied choice of clubs, bars and restaurants in Freiburg. Freiburg is located in the south-western Germany at the western edge of the Black Forest.

Due to the wide climatic range, extending from Germany’s warmest region in the valley of the river Rhine close to the alpine timberline, the versatile landscape and the picturesque city centre, Freiburg is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Germany.
