Alanus University of Arts and Social Sciences, based in Alfter near Bonn, is a state-approved private university for the arts and social sciences. It offers study programmes in architecture, visual arts, eurythmy, art therapy, education, philosophy, business administration and drama. The University’s philosophy is based around the relationship and interplay between arts and sciences. Our diverse study programmes have been carefully designed to become sources of dialogue and mutual inspiration that transcend the boundaries of the various disciplines. Moving beyond the horizons of one’s own chosen study programme is a vital element of the educational concept at Alanus. Assisted by long-standing cooperation projects and a growing network of partners, the University translates its philosophy into reality.
