Press releases of Europa-Universität Flensburg (EUF)

Around 1,600 students began their studies at EUF in early September

With around 1,600 new students, a total of approximately 5,400 students are currently enrolled at Europa-Universität Flensburg. "We are very pleased with the continued high level of interest in our degree programs. We have traditionally been a university with many students from Schleswig-Holstein. Given this year's significantly smaller number of school leavers in Schleswig-Holstein due to the transition from G8 to G9, we are delighted by this sustained interest. This shows us that our degree programs resonate with prospective students, and we are delighted about that”, explains Prof. Dr. Christiane Hipp, President of EUF.

This year, the proportion of international students at EUF has increased further. About 10% of the first-year students come from abroad. Last year, that figure was around 9%. Christiane Hipp: “Our degree programs are also well-received internationally, and we are very pleased with the growth in the number of international students.” Overall, about 10% of all EUF students come from abroad.

Approximately 1,600 new students have enrolled at EUF for the fall semester 2026/27 (as of September 21, 2026). This brings the current total number of students at EUF to around 5,400.

Approximately 73% of EUF students are enrolled in educational science degree programs, either in the B.A. in Educational Sciences or in the Master of Education degree programs, which allow for specialization in various types of schools. About 16% of students are enrolled in international or European studies degree programs, while about 6% are enrolled in the university’s engineering or social science degree programs with a focus area on sustainability and transformation, and about 5% are doctoral researchers and exchange students.

These are preliminary figures from September 21, 2026 as the enrollment period has not yet ended.
