Bielefeld University, founded in 1969 as a so-called reform university, has always focused on interdisciplinary work. This is reflected in the central building concept: a glass-roofed main hall connects all faculties spatially and thus promotes communication and exchange.
With around 24,000 to 25,000 students and 13 to 14 faculties (depending on the source), it offers a wide range of subjects - from the humanities, natural and social sciences to technology and medicine.
Research is a top priority - especially in top interdisciplinary areas such as "Changing World", "Material World", "Mathematical World" and "Socio-Technical World", which are bundled as part of the profile process. In addition, the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research (ZiF) is one of the first institutes of its kind in Germany and is internationally recognized.
