European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder)

We do research, teaching and knowledge transfer for the benefit of society. We educate, research and teach people who successfully provide academically based impulses for overcoming complex social challenges. Research, teaching and knowledge transfer are closely interlinked and promote critical thinking and independent action as well as flexible and dynamic employability. Our alumni successfully contribute to shaping a peaceful and cooperative European future in a global context.

We are a university of direct interaction and short distances. Good teaching is our trademark. Individual, hands-on and dialogue-oriented teaching formats are tailored to the interests and needs of our students. Personal support and a strong university community provide guidance, open up opportunities for self-efficacy and promote successful graduation.

We focus on Europe as a globally interconnected space for interpretation and action. We promote European integration and successful communication and cooperation with Eastern Europe, and offer evident expertise on Western and Eastern Europe. We are an international university. Our community is characterised by multilingualism, multiple perspectives, encounters and exchange. We offer our students, researchers and teachers a strong international network.
