List of small subjects
The list of small subjects gives an overview of small subjects at German universities .
Small subjects is a term used in German university policy . It covers subjects at universities that have few professors and few locations. The small subjects (on behalf of the university rectors' conference ) were mapped for Germany by the Potsdam office small subjects (located at the University of Mainz since 2012).
The University Rectors' Conference writes that small subjects not only ensure the diversity of subjects at universities, but also enable differentiated research designs. However, their existence is partially threatened by savings in the higher education sector and the changeover caused by the Bologna reform .
