University of Neuchâtel
University of Neuchâtel, Public university in Neuchâtel, Switzerland.
The University of Neuchâtel is a public higher education institution by Lake Neuchâtel and is divided into faculties for law, letters and human sciences, natural sciences, and economics. The buildings are spread across several locations in the city and form a broad academic area with lecture halls, laboratories, and administrative spaces.
King Frederick William III of Prussia founded the institution in 1838 and enabled the first academic establishment in the region. The first degree was awarded in 1843 and marked the beginning of a long teaching tradition.
The campus carries the architectural language of several centuries and shows through its buildings the gradual change of a regional teaching institution. Today students from many countries meet here and use the libraries and lecture halls for research and exchange.
Most events and lecture halls are accessible throughout the year and most buildings can be reached on foot. Visitors should note that some areas are open only to students and staff.
The Faculty of Science offers a master's program in hydrogeology as the only Swiss institution. This focus attracts students from many countries who wish to specialize in water resources.
