University of Konstanz Germany

Top-level research, excellence in teaching and studies, internationality and interdisciplinary collaboration have stood for the University of Konstanz since its foundation as a Reform University in 1966. This clear orientation soon led to a unique profile that not only stands out through its high quality but also through innovation, creativity and a commitment to enjoying research. The consistent expansion of its strengths and innovative concepts and ideas have contributed significantly to the University of Konstanz succeeding in the Excellence Initiative by the German Federal and State Governments to promote top-level research at German universities in October 2007 with its Institutional Strategy ‘Model Konstanz towards a culture of creativity’. The University of Konstanz is a campus university of medium size. Thirteen departments operate in three faculties: Sciences, Humanities as well as Politics, Law, Economics.
