University
Andrássy University Budapest (AUB) was founded in 2001 and is the only university outside the German speaking area operating entirely in German. The AUB is a Hungarian and international university supported by Hungary, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Republic of Austria, the Free State of Bavaria, the Federal State of Baden-Württemberg, the Swiss Confederation and the Autonomous Region of Trentino South Tyrol.
The AUB is “University of National Excellence” in Hungary and is the only university abroad, which is accredited on the basis of German rules by evalag (Evaluation Agency Baden-Württemberg).
Concept
AUB considers following elements as essential and fixed cornerstones of its strategy:
1. German, outside the German language area
The programmes offered by AUB rest on the tradition and the reservoir of the German language, especially in Central and Eastern Europe. This describes a clearly delineated target group within the rather large target market. With its extensive German course selection as well as with its advantages of being a German institution, AUB contributes to the maintenance and improvement of this target group.
2. A multinational, intercultural community of teachers and students, with German as the lingua franca
At AUB, students from more than 25 European countries meet to conduct their studies. The permanent and/or regular presence of professors from around the world creates unique study conditions which could not be achieved by the usual student or professor mobility.
3. Applied interdisciplinarity
Interdisciplinarity is incorporated structurally in the faculty layout, ensured in the curriculum by the interdisciplinary study programmes, implemented methodically into the joint transdisciplinary courses and embedded academically in the overlapping research topics.
4. European focus on research and instruction
European topics, including those regarding European integration, lie in the focus of research and instruction of all disciplines at AUB, whereby the Central and Eastern European countries and the Danube region are taken into particular consideration.
5. Academic claims
Thanks to the unity of research and instruction, the competitive and innovative study programmes, the research-related instruction and excellent student mentoring, AUB is committed to ensuring very high job market qualities.
