Sabine Kunst hat von 1972 bis 1982 an der Universität Hannover die Fächer Biolo-gie, Politologie und Wasserwirtschaft studiert und promoviert. 1982 promovierte sie in Ingeni-eurwesen, 1990 in Politologie.

Sabine Kunst war – als erste Frau überhaupt – von 2010 bis 2011 Präsidentin des Deutschen Akademischen Austauschdienstes (DAAD), der größten Organisation für den weltweiten Austausch von Forscherinnen, Forschern und Studierenden. Das internationale Engagement der Forscherin und Hochschullehrerin führte sie in eine Vielzahl von Ländern, zum Beispiel in der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit nach Bolivien und Peru, später nach Mexiko. Es folgten längere Forschungsaufenthalte in Kapstadt.

Im Jahr 2010 wurde sie als Hochschulmanagerin des Jahres ausgezeichnet. 2013 wurde ihr in Berlin die Ehrendoktorwürde der American Jewish University Los Angeles verliehen.

Im Jahr 2020 wurde Sabine Kunst zur Vorsitzenden der Landeskonferenz der Rektoren und Präsidenten der Berliner Hochschulen (LKRP) gewählt.

Until she was appointed Minister, she was President of the University of Potsdam from January 2007 until February 2011. Prior to this, the university teacher und researcher held several senior positions, including Director of International Affairs and Vice President for Teaching, Studies and Further Education at Universität Hannover. From 1972 until 1982, Sabine Kunst studied and gained a doctoral degree in biology, political science and water management at Universität Hannover. She completed her doctoral studies in engineering in 1982, and in political science in 1990.

From 2010 until 2011, Sabine Kunst was the very first female President of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the largest organisation for the worldwide exchange of researchers and students. Her international engagement as a researcher and university teacher has taken her to a number of countries, e.g. to Bolivia and Peru for development cooperation, and later to Mexico. This was followed by several extended research visits in Cape Town.

In 2010, she was named University Manager of the Year. In 2013, she received an honorary doctorate in Berlin from the American Jewish University Los Angeles.

In 2020, Sabine Kunst was elected as Head of the State Conference of Rectors and Presidents in Berlin (LKRP).
