Mission statement

The mission of the Sigmund Freud Private University: We not only establish careers, we promote personalities

The mission of SFU is guided by four fundamental motives:

• Cultivating the intellectual legacy of Sigmund Freud
• The cultivation of humanistic values in an increasingly utilitarian social and academic environment
• Emphasising the personality as the basis (rather than a side issue) of education
• The solidarity and responsibility towards the university city of Vienna and its citizens

The Faculty of Medicine at Sigmund Freud University fulfils its tasks in research and teaching in accordance with the requirements of the highest academic quality. From the very beginning of their studies, students are given the opportunity to continuously develop their social competences and skills.
