University College Freiburg (UCF) was founded in 2012. The College facilitates interdisciplinarity, internationalization, and didactic-methodological innovation in higher education. The Bachelor Program in Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) is the main offering at UCF.
Two professorships – Epistemology and Theory of Science and Science and Technology Studies – provide a framework and didactic guidance for interdisciplinary higher education at UCF. Together with UCF Academic Staff and Teaching Fellows, they form the backbone of the first LAS Program in Germany.
UCF is situated in the Alte Universität. A room plan of the UCF hallway is available here.

Apart from UCF faculty, LAS courses are offered by Teaching Fellows from the University and beyond. Fellowships give lecturers the opportunity to develop and implement new course ideas and are compensated.
With view to the interdisciplinary breadth of the LAS Program, we are interested in teaching concepts and course ideas across all faculties and also from outside the university. The LAS Course Catalog lists courses taught at UCF per semester. If you are interested, please get in touch with Stefan Adler and send him a current CV and short draft of your teaching idea.
Overview of current Teaching Fellows at UCF:
The Student Council is the LAS student association. Its Board connects students, staff, and the University. We represent the student body by voicing students’ opinions and actively shaping our study program.
Moreover, we are a platform for social and extracurricular LAS activities. Committees, interest groups, and student-run events contribute to the familiar atmosphere at UCF. We also organize study abroad info-days, parties, camping trips, and the LAS welcome week. For more information, please see our website.
The Executive Organizers are the main Student Council coordinators and representatives. They organize the Student Council meetings and communication with UCF. And they collect ideas, implement projects, and encourage active engagement. Contact: studentscouncil@ucf.uni-freiburg.de.
The Mediators are happy to answer questions about student life as an LAS student. They are available for meetings to show you around and share their experiences. Contact: lasstudentsmediator@gmail.com
