Coburg University was founded in 1814 by Friedrich Streib, a court architect in the former duchy of Saxe-Coburg. As a university of applied sciences and arts, it is a fairly new type of academic institution, which differs from traditional research universities mainly in its practical orientation. Its goal is to convey scientific knowledge with specific emphasis on practical applications. A family atmosphere and short distances on campus and into the city make studying in Coburg very personal.
