University of Kassel
Scientific expertise in nature, technology, culture and society determine the specific performance of the University of Kassel. Hardly any other German university has this special Kassel Mix of engineering, natural sciences and mathematics on the one hand and humanities, social sciences and art on the other. This offers quite unusual opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration and innovative solutions.
