The University of Augsburg was founded in 1970.
It is one of the new, modern universities in Bavaria,
and with approximately 15,000 students it
is of a manageable size. It attracts students from
far beyond its immediate catchment area. About
20% of the German students come from outside
Bavaria, and at 14% its share of foreign students
is larger than at comparable universities.
The University of Augsburg maintains particularly
close partnerships with the Universities of
Pittsburgh (USA), Osijek (Croatia), Iasi (Romania)
and Chabarowsk (Russia). It has cooperation
agreements with over forty universities in
Europe, Asia, South Africa, North America and
Latin America. The number of ERASMUS exchange
programmes also continues to grow.
There are currently exchange programmes with
more than 130 universities throughout Europe.
Foreign academics and students are warmly welcomed
to all institutes of higher education in
Augsburg and are offered professional advice
about their stay. An office has been set up to
answer all their questions, which they can consult
before leaving their home country or upon arrival
in Augsburg.
Studying an living on a campus The University of Augsburg campus is one of the
most congenial places to study in Germany.
Situated near the city centre of Augsburg, the
campus is spacious without being overwhelming.
The modern buildings, functional and yet architecturally
appealing, blend into a landscaped park
with grassy areas, a lake, fountains and several
sculptures by contemporary artists.
The concentration of the academic buildings on
one site simplifies the day-to-day working of the
university while encouraging communication.
The individual faculties, the administration offices
(including the Student Service Centre), the refectory,
cafeterias, bars, and the libraries are all conveniently
close together. This is a place where
people study, teach, carry out research, and live.
There is a sense of what “university” really means:
a sense of community, cooperation and solidarity
between the lecturers and the researchers on
the one hand, and, on the other hand, the students
who benefit from the research through the
teaching they receive.
