Universität Augsburg

Universität Augsburg was founded in 1970. Since then, the university has successfully developed into a comprehensive university with eight faculties and orientated its own profile to the challenges of the present and future.

Most university facilities are located on a compact campus south of Augsburg city centre, with the exception of the Medical Faculty. The campus includes green spaces and the “Uni-See” (university pond), with short distances between facilities supporting interaction among students, staff, and researchers. Around 9% of the university’s students are international students.

Augsburg is Bavaria’s third-largest city and combines urban amenities with a green environment. The city offers cultural events, festivals, nightlife, lakes, and access to the city forest. The Alps are around 90 minutes away, providing opportunities for hiking and skiing.
