What's special here?

On the Westerberg Campus, students often meet at the "Frog". This lecture hall building with its spacious learning environment, located between a modern dining hall and the new library building, owes this name to its unusual architecture and colour scheme. With comfortable seating and large desks in a multi-level space, the light-flooded building is ideal for group study.

Where to meet

In addition to university parties, university cinema, concerts, theatre performances and sports, students especially meet at the ‘Terrassenfest’ (terrace festival) in Osnabrück. Every spring, the Westerberg campus transforms for three days into the largest student-organised festival in Northern Germany, where regional bands and DJs create a lively atmosphere. A real highlight!
