Profile
The University of Augsburg is the sixth largest university in Bavaria.
Still young and relatively compact, the modern campus university provides excellent conditions for
studying a wide range of subjects, including Business & Economics, Law, the Arts, Social Sciences,
Mathematics, Physics, Information Technology and Geography. Interdisciplinary research forms the basis
for new types of courses oriented to the challenges of today.
History and general information
The University of Augsburg was founded in 1970 as the academic centre of the Bavarian South West.
Over 16% of the students come from other German states and the number of foreign students, currently at the
12.5% mark, continues to grow.
Augsburg itself offers maximal quality of life. Not least its over 2000-year-old history –
which boasts such names as Jakob Fugger, Rudolf Diesel and Bertholdt Brecht – is still very much
alive, giving the relatively young university town of Augsburg her distinctive charm.
Service / Facilites
All enrolled students are entitled to the so-called Semesterticket which allows them to use public
transport within Augsburg free of charge. The tram ride from Augsburg’s city centre to the University’s
park-like campus takes only 15 minutes.
The concentration of all university facilities on this campus
creates excellent conditions for studying. Short distances facilitate everyday life at university,
promoting communication and integration. Augsburg’s University Library holds over 2,500,000 volumes,
most of which are directly accessible. Courses at the University Sports Centre are also open to all
students. Co-operation agreements with about fifty universities in all continents supply Augsburg’s
students with diverse possibilities for studying abroad.
