The University of Erfurt was founded in 1379 and re-established in 1994. One of the earliest medieval university, distinguished as an attractive and part unusual teaching and research from other universities. It is located in Erfurt, capital city of German state Thuringia. Martin Luther is one of the famous alumnus, studied from 1501-1505 in University of Erfurt. There numerous centers that are part of the university for a visible research activity, nationally and internationally:
• The Max Weber Center for Cultural and Social Studies
• Research Library Gotha
• Research Center Gotha
• Willy Brandt School of Public Policy
The university library has largest collections of early modern manuscript and keeper of Bibliotheca Amploniana, a collection of 1,000 medieval manuscripts. The university has two major areas of teaching and research priorities, Education and religion.
The University of Erfurt maintains its relation with partner universities in creating compatible study systems internationally and to increase attractiveness in study for German and foreign students.

The program is academically strong, mainly thanks to very good professors. Teaching is solid, up to date, and often practice-oriented. Many lecturers bring relevant professional experience, and supervision in seminars and office hours is generally engaged and helpful.
At the same time, the organization of the program is often chaotic. Timetables and exam regulations are frequently communicated very late, information is not always consistent or easy to find, and administrative processes (e.g. exam registration, grade entry, recognition of credits) sometimes take unnecessarily long. This creates avoidable stress and makes personal planning difficult, especially for working or international students.
Overall, this is a content-wise strong program with great potential. The student experience would improve significantly if administration and study organization were more transparent, reliable, and proactive in their communication.

After 5 years studying Philosophy and History at Uni Erfurt, I can say the small seminar groups made all the difference. Professors actually know your name. The campus is compact and walkable, the library’s solid, and Erfurt itself is a charming, affordable city. Wish the bureaucracy moved faster, though!
Nice place to persue an education, University of Erfurt excels in interdisciplinary social sciences. Vibrant campus in a beatiful city. They offer diverse programs for global students.Would highly recommend.
View moreAmazing University strategically positioned and good interpersonal relationship with the administration and program officials. It would be amazing if they had more English language courses but I would definitely recommend a future prospect to join University of Erfurt.
View moreOur university offers only double degree bachelors. That is the most interesting and frustrating thing that could ever happen to you. On the one hand, you only get half knowledge of everything, our professors cant teach us deeply during one course and the two faculties make you change your mindset every class. But on the other hand, you can dive into topics deeply thanks to the open structure, I learned how to think interdisciplinary and I learned how to think critically even in the discipline I study. Erfurt is an amazing student city and even though the university itself can be very unorganized, everything works out somehow because we have a very helpful climate with each other. Studying at Erfurt was honestly one of my best decisions.
