Cultural Studies

The CHE ranking only covers the larger and more traditional subjects, smaller subjects are not taken into account. For this reason, no comparative figures exist for the interdisciplinary programs of the Faculty of Cultural Studies.

The university ranking of the weekly newspaper "Die ZEIT" and the Center for Higher Education Development (CHE) is Germany's largest and most important comparative ranking of state and private universities. The results in the areas of research, teaching and facilities are based on the opinions of students. In previous years, the European University Viadrina has already achieved top positions in the CHE ranking.
