University of Kiel Information
Located in the German city of the same name the university of Kiel was initially established as the Academia Holsatorum Chiloniensis in 1665. Today it has grown to offer 103 different degree programs offered through eight different faculties. Though the university peaked in the 19th century and suffered badly from the Gleichschaltung, which ordered the removal of Jewish scholars and faculty before the second world war, the university of Kiel has bounced back strongly in recent years to once again become a leading centre of learning.
Kiel has seven different faculties as follows:
Faculty of Agricultural and Nutrition
Faculty of Arts and Humanities
Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences
Faculty of Engineering
Faculty of Law
Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences
Faculty of Medicine
Faculty of Theology
Some of the famous alumni and staff that have passed through the gates of the university of Kiel over the years include Erich Schneider, Johann Gustav Droysen, Friedrich von Esmarch, Alfred Heuß, Otto Jahn, Theodor Mommsen, Felix Jacoby and Hartmut Boockmann.
