Constructor University’s three Schools convene scientists across a broad range of disciplines. Our research is characterized by multi- and interdisciplinarity that is as well the heart of our educational concept. Our faculty and research staff thrives to tackle global challenges and important societal developments by using the most recent digital technologies. Our on-campus research capabilities are enhanced through our network of global collaborators in academia and industry as well as the Constructor Group environment.
As a small residential university we take pride in the early involvement of our students in state-of-the-art pure and applied research and benefit strongly from the international and intercultural perspectives our student body brings into our research teams.
