Jobs & Careers

As a university of education, we cooperate with many universities and colleges worldwide. We maintain intensive interdisciplinary collaborations with educational research associations and our research is recognised far beyond the borders of the region.

The unique location at the meeting point of Germany, France, and Switzerland offers opportunities for cross-border, international degree programs and research projects. Together with the University of Freiburg, we contribute to, among other things, the training, further education and continuing professional development of teachers in Baden-Württemberg, while also educating future students of educational science.

The University of Education campus in the east of Freiburg is surrounded by trees and forests, which is why we like to call ourselves the campus university in the countryside.

With around 5,000 students, 400 teachers and 150 administrative staff, we are a manageable size and offer a pleasant working atmosphere as well as room for initiative and personal responsibility in collegial teams – in both the scientific and administrative fields.

With its picturesque old town, the Bächle (traditional waterways) and the Gothic-style cathedral, Freiburg has a special flair. As a location for a university and four colleges, Freiburg has a fairly young population, which is also reflected in the city's vibrant social life.

Living and working where others spend their holidays provides the best basis for an optimal work-life balance.
