Since its re-establishment in 1991, Viadrina has consistently followed its concept of bringing together young people from all over the world. This has proven successful and the Viadrina has grown into a lively and much respected member of the circle of German and European universities.
Scientists and students work together to scientifically address questions concerning the future of Europe. The Viadrina is committed to interdisciplinarity in its research as well as in its study programs.
Viadrina thrives on its internationality, which far exceeds the scope of European countries: Around 6,500 students from more than 100 countries come together at our campus. Taking different perspectives is part of Viadrina's self-image.
Our location on the German-Polish border near Berlin makes us attractive for international students who can live and study in two countries at the same time: Our campus in Poland is only a 10-minute walk from the German Campus.
