University of Augsburg

The University of Augsburg was founded in 1970 and is thus one of the new, modern universities in Bavaria. At approximately 19,000 students and an academic staff of about 1,200, it is still of a manageable size, yet it attracts students and scholars from far beyond its immediate catchment area. The University of Augsburg offers a wide range of academic programmes in arts, humanities, natural sciences, business and law. In its research, the University of Augsburg connects local with global perspectives in a network of academic discourses centered on five focus areas: Transnational Studies, Health Sciences, Resource Management, Materials Science and Applied Computer Science. In addition, top-level research is being done in all disciplines represented at the university. The University of Augsburg is situated on a landscaped campus to the south of the city of Augsburg, easily reached both by road and by public transport.
