1. State-Accredited
We have been a state-accredited university since 1971. The German Council of Science and Humanities has rated our educational quality as excellent. All programmes of study are accredited.
2. Close contact between students and lecturers
We are a small university with around 1000 students. We still take great care to foster a close contact between students and lecturers, avoiding anonymous and impersonal mass events and overcrowded lectures!
3. Practical training
With our hands-on practical training, we ensure a fast career entry: 89% of our graduates have entered into employment within a year after graduating.
4. Research on an international level
Research at EH Freiburg is characterised by its interdisciplinarity. This can be illustrated by the research focus on childhood education (early childhood education), which is represented on the research map of the HRK – German Rectors’ Conference. Leading professorships in this research focus come from the following disciplines: early childhood education, psychology, social work. With a centre of excellence for gender-based violence, equipped with two professorships focusing on this area, the university has a strong academic profile in gender studies. In addition, the university works on an interdisciplinary basis on research topics that are virulent worldwide.
5. Further education
We also have a lot to offer for professionals: Masters degree programmes, certified advanced education, qualifications and symposiums.
6. Doctorate
We make a doctorate possible: through the doctoral association of the universities of applied sciences in Baden-Württemberg as well as through cooperation with universities and colleges of education.
