Follow us on social media

We look forward to sharing and discussing our news and stories with you. However, please understand that we may delete, without comment, any posts that are discriminatory, promotional or advertising in nature, or that are inappropriate in form or content.

Would you like to use our platforms to reach our students and employees? Please contact us in advance. We will try to find solutions. However, we have also aim to entertain our followers and do not see our platforms as advertising space for third parties. We therefore ask for your understanding should we have to reject your request.

As part of its communications activities, the Faculty of Economics, Law and Social Sciences at the University of Erfurt also operates an Instagram page. Our social media activities serve to promote the Faculty and to facilitate rapid, target-group-oriented communication with members of the university community and the interested public. In this context, we also process personal data (‘legitimate interest’ pursuant to Article 6(1), first sentence, point (f) of the GDPR). We kindly ask that you do not submit application documents or any other sensitive data via these channels. Please use our application platform for this purpose or contact us by email.

We do not use any social media plugins on this website. Nevertheless, we would like to point out that providers such as Facebook already collect personal data as soon as you open their page, e.g. by clicking on links, which makes it technically possible to create a personal profile. It is irrelevant for this purpose whether you are logged into the social network. The University of Erfurt has no influence over the collection and processing of data by the operators. Please therefore refer to their specific privacy policies.

We would also like to draw your attention to the fact that, when using the social media services of the Meta Group (Facebook and Instagram), data security cannot be guaranteed under European law. Detailed information on data protection practices when using these services, using Facebook as an example, can be found on this page of the University of Erfurt.

You do not need your own account to view our posts on social media platforms (Instagram). All relevant information on studies, research, people or news is also available, in compliance with data protection regulations, via the Faculty of Economics, Law and Social Sciences’ website on the internet. Current news and events can be viewed there. Important information for students is also sent via Moodle and email.
