University





Study and Research - Hand in Hand

Universities specialize in methodic, theoretical education. The classic faculties include medicine and law, social and cultural sciences, and often business management and education. Research and study are closely combined, just as Germany's great academic reformer Wilhelm von Humboldt thought they should be. Research is conducted independent of current societal interests. The goal is primarily gaining and furthering knowledge, not practical application.Students at universities are largely free to determine their course of study themselves. They decide which lectures to attend or which professor to take an exam with. But there are certain guidelines that have to be followed. A university degree isn't paramount to job training, but it does give you the scientific qualifications needed on the job market.
