Get an idea of who we are – the university in the heart of Munich. Universität München is one of the leading research universities in Europe, with a more than 500-year-long tradition. We build upon our success in the Excellence Initiative, a Germany-wide competition promoting top-level university research, to enhance our research profile over the next years and strengthen our position at an international level.

Universität München takes the education of young people very seriously. When we speak of academic diversity, we also mean a comprehensive education that encompasses social skills alongside a critical awareness of values and history. This includes the Munich legacy of the Weisse Rose, the student-based resistance group that opposed Nazism.

As one of the classic German research universities, Universität München looks back on a long history. Its name, “Ludovico-Maximilianea,” goes back to Duke Ludwig the Rich of Bavaria-Landshut, who founded the university in 1472. Universität München is divided into 18 faculties, covering all areas of knowledge and offering a well-differentiated array of courses in about 150 subjects. Universität München also houses numerous interdisciplinary research centers and one of Germany’s finest library systems
