About the study place

Universität Münster is one of the largest and most prestigious universities in Germany. Founded in 1780, it has a long and rich history of research and education combined with a focus on innovation and entrepreneurship. The university encompasses fields of study ranging from humanities and social sciences to medicine and natural sciences, with particular strengths in biosciences, nanotechnology, and religious studies.

The university is located in the city of Münster, in the northwestern part of Germany, and is a mix of old and new. The city offers a wide range of cafes, restaurants, museums, and galleries. At the Prinzipalmarkt, Münster's historical marketplace surrounded by houses from the 16th and 18th centuries, you can find places to eat and shop, or just sit and watch the world go by.

The cathedral, St. Paulus, is 1,200 years old and well worth a visit with its beautiful architecture, an astronomical clock, and a beautiful garden. There are also beautiful gardens connected to the city's castle, which dates back to 1767 and today houses the university administration and the botanical garden.

The city also has a number of parks and lakes, which are perfect for relaxation and leisure activities. Münster is one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in Germany with an extensive network of bicycle paths.

Münster is ideally located with a short distance to other major German cities such as Düsseldorf, Dortmund, and Hannover. This makes it easy to explore other parts of the country on the weekends.

All in all, with its combination of high-quality education, rich cultural life, and high quality of life, Münster and Universität Münster with its dynamic student life is an excellent choice for those wishing to study in Germany.
