German term or phrase: interfakultär
No, my German spell-checker doesn't recognise the word either ... It's a marketing text for a university advertising itself to international students.

.. mit einem weltweit anerkannten interfakultären
Zentrum für XXY

Have we got an adjectival form of "faculty" in English, or should I just write "interdepartmental"?

Thanks

Examples would be "inter-faculty programmes" "inter-faculty working groups" "inter-faculty projects" and also "inter-faculty centre" (which has over 300 google hits if you look at both the US and UK spellings of centre/er). Hope this helps
