Research Characteristics at the University of Bamberg

Research at the University of Bamberg’s four faculties is interdisciplinary. It is often organised in inter-faculty centres or smaller research collaborations and is in many cases internationally networked.

Four outstanding fields of interdisciplinary research with long track records of excellence constitute particular profile-enhancing research focus areas.

At the University of Bamberg, some potential profile areas are also currently emerging. These have shown distinct potential for development into research priorities.
