University of Erfurt (Universität Erfurt) is a major higher educational institution in the Thuringian city of Erfurt.
Opened in 1379, the university is among Germany's oldest, but has constantly evolved, becoming a specialist in contemporary subjects like sociology, teacher training, public policy, and German cultural studies.
The University of Erfurt is a venerable institution, having played a major role in the Reformation and the birth of modern sociology. These days, it offers 46 courses, spread across Bachelor's and Master's levels. Subjects focus on culture, education, social studies, politics, and religion, but almost all arts disciplines are covered. The university is medium-sized, with around 5,700 students, and a thriving international community.
The University of Erfurt is known across Europe as a center for social studies, particularly subjects touching on the history and sociology of religion. The campus culture is liberal, with a focus on human rights, while popular activities like model United Nations clubs reflect the school's international spirit.
The city itself is located close to the center of Germany, within easy reach of Berlin, Weimar, Bonn, Frankfurt, and many other attractive destinations. Prices tend to be affordable, and international students are welcomed. There is a "Strangers Become Friends" program to help introduce newcomers to the local community, as well as free German language mentoring and tutoring throughout degree courses.
