Study in Passau? Why?

“Careers are made here!”

“Does Germany need new elite universities? We don’t think so, because we have them already and present the evidence with a series of portraits about universities in which there are exceptional things to discover: first-class research, exciting teaching, practice-oriented training, interesting focal points and an excellent direct line to the business world. We are beginning with Passau.”

(“Hochschulanzeiger” (Higher education section) in the newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung (FAZ), May 2004)

Do you need any more reasons for studying in Passau? Yes?

The University of Passau is often described as a ‘pearl’ in the university world: the green campus with buildings along the river Inn, which from an architectural point of view are extraordinarily successful and are very close to Passau town centre. This proximity characterizes the university as well as the personal contact between students and the academic staff working at the university.

The wide range of cultural events, sports and leisure activities on offer provide an alternative to the everyday routine of studying.

About 40 per cent of the students in Passau come from outside Bavaria or from other federal states. They have especially chosen Passau because of its unmistakable profile – based on the motto: The University of Passau – the ideal launching pad for an international career.
