organisation profile

Tuebingen's contemporary appearance is characterized by 20000 students living in a comparatively small city of 85000. While the majority of the liberal arts departments and institutions are located in the old part of Tuebingen, the modern Science Center was built thirty years ago on the hills overlooking the town. The University's academic reputation is determined by the research achievements of more than 450 professors and about 2000 academic assistants. At their disposal is not only the latest technical equipment, but also extensive library facilities. The latest results of scientific research flow directly into the University's curriculum, thus guaranteeing an up-to-date education.
Until well into the 19th century the financial needs of the University were covered by its own endowment. Today, however, research is predominantly financed by the State of Baden-Wuerttemberg and the Federal Government. Additional funds and donations add up to another EUR 70 million. The University, with almost 10000 employees, is the biggest employer of Southern Wuerttemberg and has a budget of about EUR 650 million. The University Hospital's turnover alone makes up for more than half of that amount. An additional EUR 25 million is spent on building and construction. Faculties: Protestant Theology, Catholic Theology, Law, Economics and Business Administration, Medicine, Philosophy and History, Social and Behavioural Sciences, Modern Languages, Cultural Sciences, Mathematics and Physics, Chemistry and Pharmacy, Biology, Geosciences, Informatics.
