Why not study in the heart of Europe? The Europa-Universität Viadrina, Germany’s most eastern university, lies directly on the German-Polish border. Since its refoundation in 1991, the university in Frankfurt (Oder) has seen itself as a bridge between eastern and western Europe. No one personifies this better than Director Gesine Schwan. The political scientist is coordinator of German-Polish Cooperation and was also a candidate for the office of federal president in 2004. The university’s function as an international bridge is also underlined by crossborder courses in Poland, a German-Polish law degree and cooperation agreements with 140 higher education institutions around the world. The university’s student body is also very international: about 33 percent of the more than 5,000 students come from outside Germany. 1,331 students from Poland alone are studying in the departments of law, economics and cultural studies.
