维也纳大学：研究引导教学
英文导读
The University of Vienna was founded by Duke Rudolph IV in 1365. In the course of the Reformation， starting in 1520， the University of Vienna， a "papal institution"， suffered a great loss of prestige. As both the Church and the university’s own adminis-trative bodies were eliminated， the university became an educational establishment of the state， focussing on the training of civil servants and physicians， but not on the education of scholars in the middle of the 18th century. The year of the revolution 1848 also greatly in-fluenced the University of Vienna. Students demanded the freedom of teach-ing and learning， and the end of any suppression of academic life. To this day， the most important success of their endeavours has been the-still-valid Article 17 of Austrian Fundamental Law： "Freedom of research and re-search-based Education." Women were admitted as full students from 1897， although their studies were limited to Philosophy. The University of Vienna does not have one joint campus. The academic facilities occupy more than sixty locations throughout the city of Vienna. It is the oldest university in the German-speaking world and one of the largest in Central Europe. It aims to sustain a wide range of studies， but at the same time to promote new and in-novative fields of research， and to establish new networks between subjects. A strong focus on research， combining fundamental with application-orient-ed research， renders this University highly attractive for the sharpest minds.
System： The university has 15 Faculties and 4 Centres： Faculty of Catholic Theology； Faculty of Protestant Theology； Faculty of Law， Faculty of Business； Economics and Statistics； Faculty of Computer Science； Faculty of Historical and Cultural Studies， Faculty of Philological and Cultural Studies， Faculty of Philosophy and Education； Faculty of Psychology； Faculty of Social Sciences； Faculty of Mathematics； Faculty of Physics， Faculty of Chemistry； Faculty of Earth Sciences， Geography and Astronomy； Faculty of Life Sciences； Centre for Translation Studies； Centre for Sport Science and University Sports； Centre for Molecular Biology； Centre for Teacher Education.

中文概述
维也纳大学是奥地利历史最悠久的大学，也是德语区国家最老的大学之一，成立于1365年，是27位诺贝尔奖获得者的母校。
维也纳大学由哈布内斯王朝亲王鲁道夫四世捐助于1365年建立，因此维也纳大学旧称是鲁道夫大学，其初衷是争夺教会在思想领域的势力范围。后来，亲王阿尔布莱希特三世通过改革和扩大，建立和完善了神学院、法学院、医学院和人文学院，使学校发展成为当时欧洲的政治、宗教、文化和经济中心。
维也纳大学下设15个学院和4个研究中心，分别是：天主教神学院，新教神学院，法学院，经济学院，信息学院，历史文化学院，语言文化学院，哲学及教育学院，心理学学院，社会学学院，数学学院，物理学院，化学学院，地质、地理及天文学院，生命科学院，翻译研究中心，体育研究中心、分子生物研究中心和师范教育中心。
有欧州文艺复兴式的古典风格的大学主楼是维也纳大学的中枢所在，主楼正面是11名雕刻大师的杰作，既有历史故事、古代神话，又有现代科学巨匠，栩栩如生地描述了一部西方教育、科技、文化发展史。大楼正中央是面积约三千多平方米的庭院，院中矗立着一座巨大的卡斯泰利娅（山林水泽女神）雕像喷泉，象征智慧的源泉喷发不息。
奥地利首都维也纳是一个城市，也是一个州。她是欧洲最古老和最重要的文化、艺术和旅游城市之一。由于身处“世界音乐之都”，戏剧和音乐是维也纳大学学子们课余生活的重要内容，大学生在街头巷尾表演，自弹自唱，自得其乐。古典音乐大师海顿和贝多芬都曾在学校大礼堂献艺。
