With over 600 years of
tradition, the Julius
Maximilian University of
Würzburg is today one of
Germany's mid-sized
universities. 400
professors in 10
faculties here teach
roughly 20,000 students.
A university's
competitiveness in
academic instruction
is evaluated decisively
by the quality,
intensity and
originality of academic
research. Over 6,000
research papers are
published yearly in
Würzburg. Moreover,
there are eight special
research areas, seven
graduate colleges and a
series of other research
areas, groups and
centers.
The University of
Würzburg is among the
leading institutions of
higher education in
Germany; this has been
confirmed by rankings
carried out by national
and international
research organizations,
international external
assessment committees as
well as by the German
Federal and State
Excellence Initiatives
(founded in 2006).
Internationally, the
University of Würzburg
is also one of the
top-ranking academic
institutions in many
fields of research and
study. |
