Ever since its inauguration, it has acquired and cultivated a reputation for being very left-wing. In 2005, there were about 12.000 students at the university.One main focus of the university is the schooling of teachers, which was established during the 1970s and remains a strong profile. The campus is split into two locations, the major one being Uhlhornsweg where the main library, the mensa and the administration along with most of the departments is housed, while Wechloy is home to the studies of natural sciences.
