Creative inspiration between the Rhine and Ruhr: the Universität Duisburg-Essen (UDE) is located in the European region with the highest density of institutions of higher learning. Created in 2003 by the merger of the Universität Duisburg-Essen and Essen, the UDE is the youngest university in North Rhine-Westphalia and one of the ten largest universities in Germany.

Both campuses are easy to reach and offer some 34,000 students a broad academic spectrum with an international orientation – ranging from the humanities and social sciences to economics and the engineering and natural sci-ences, including medicine. Students from 130 countries are currently enrolled at the Universität Duisburg-Essen.

In many disciplines the UDE ranks amongst the TOP 10 of German research universities. Over the past three years, research income has risen by 150 percent, a development which is also thanks to the five main research areas: Nanosciences, Biomedical Sciences, Urban Systems, Empirical Research in Education, and Change of Contemporary Societies.
