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.
