The Otto-Friedrich University of Bamberg (also known as the University of Bamberg) was founded in 1647 and re-established in its present form in 1972. Its roots lie in the Academia Bambergensis, founded in the 17th century by Prince-Bishop Melchior Otto. The university has four faculties: Humanities and Cultural Studies, Social and Economic Sciences, Human Sciences and Business Informatics and Applied Computer Science. These faculties cover a wide range of subjects including Humanities and Cultural Studies, Social and Economic Sciences, Human Sciences (e.g. Education, Psychology) and Applied Computer Science. The University of Bamberg has a predominantly interdisciplinary research profile. Particular research foci include the digital humanities and social sciences, as well as empirical social research with a focus on education and work. In addition, the university is committed to the study and preservation of cultural heritage and medieval studies, underlining its strengths in the humanities. The University of Erlangen-Nuremberg has a strong international network. It maintains partnerships with more than 350 universities in over 60 countries worldwide. This international orientation is reflected in numerous exchange programmes (e.g. ERASMUS+) and collaborations with renowned universities. The university's mission statement is 'Regional Roots and International Network', and this is confirmed by awards for its international networking.
