Why Marburg?
... Marburg is the perfect student city. Quite a few famous names have studied at the world’s oldest protestant university still in existence. The city’s infrastructure is impeccable, as is the typical study lifestyle it has to offer, which is why it is said “other cities have a university, Marburg is a university”.
"Marburg is where your heart is!"
Marburg is a quaint, small town with a student-flair. Be it the winding streets, the many pubs and bars, a picnic on the banks of the Lahn or a party in a shared flat – in Marburg you soon feel at home.
Walk in the footsteps of the university’s famous students like Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm, Clemens Brentano, Christine Brückner or Jürgen Habermas. Live in the medieval upper town with its many shops and localities. In Marburg, you find countless restaurants, cycling lanes and verdant nature – there is a lot to be discovered in Marburg.
From afar, you already see the castle. Set all around are the Spiegelslustturm, St. Elizabeth’s church, the botanical garden and so much more. The semester ticket opens doors for the person that wants to explore the world beyond. All over Hesse – and a bit yonder – from Warburg to Göttingen over Wiesbaden, Frankfurt or Heidelberg – happily back to Marburg.
Studying in Marburg is a good decision because…
... you consequently study English with us. English is the language of instruction in lectures, seminars, tutorials and exercises – for teaching staff and students. Improve your competence in English many times over through practice in language courses and by actively using it!

... With the university’s very rewarding networks, you can study abroad well within the standard period of study.
