About Us
Founded in 1948 as a bilingual institution under the auspices of the French government, Saarland University has developed into one of Germany’s most internationally oriented universities. Its strong European identity, close ties to France, and extensive global partnerships shape both its teaching and research culture.
With all departments, institutes, laboratories, and libraries located on a single campus, the university offers an integrated academic environment that fosters collaboration, innovation, and personal interaction between students, researchers, and faculty.
Research
