It is a focal point of the programme and also has a wide range of complementary disciplines including architecture, philosophy, psychology, sociology, technology, and the natural sciences.
Students can use the library"s PC and internet workstations for internal and worldwide research with various search criteria. The library is linked to the Southwest German Library Association (SWB) and many of the books are included in the SWB"s online catalogue.
