===Education===
* '''[[University of Flensburg]]''' has about 6,000 students as of 2019/20. Founded in 1946 as a pedagogical college, it became a university in 1994. Unlike the much larger [[University of Kiel]] it is not a full university; [[theology]], [[medicine]], [[law]] and some other programs are not offered here. But it does have the right to confer doctorates.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Home|url=https://www.uni-flensburg.de/ |access-date=2024-11-17 |language=de}}</ref>
* '''[[Flensburg University of Applied Sciences]]''' is a [[Fachhochschule]] with more than 3,000 students.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Zahlen & Fakten - Studentenwerk Schleswig-Holstein |url=https://studentenwerk.sh/de/zahlen-fakten |access-date=2023-11-13 |website=studentenwerk.sh |language=de}}</ref> Its origins lie in a royal steamship machinist school, which was established in 1886. Over time, it developed into a ship's engineers' school. From this grew the "Fachhochschule for Technology", which was converted into the Fachhochschule Flensburg in 1973. At this time the economics program was introduced. In May 2016, the University decided to change its name to Flensburg University of Applied Sciences.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2016-05-11 |title=Fachhochschule Flensburg heißt jetzt Hochschule Flensburg - WELT |url=https://www.welt.de/regionales/hamburg/article155269705/Fachhochschule-Flensburg-heisst-jetzt-Hochschule-Flensburg.html |access-date=2023-11-13 |website=DIE WELT |language=de}}</ref>
