University - The Particular

Providing students with the optimal support is our top priority. Students are close to everything: to science, to their lecturers and to the administration. These are good conditions. A university of opportunities. Osnabrück University is "at the very heart of things", in the centre of a medium-sized city that offers cultural and lifestyle inspiration, as well as green, rural surroundings. Our students take their meals at one of the best canteens in Germany.

Study Programme - Main Focus

Around 180 attractive and modern degree programmes are offered, ranging from life sciences, computer science, physics, psychology and business informatics to teacher training. Special degree programmes include International Migration and Intercultural Relations, Cognitive Science and European Studies. Osnabrück University is a pioneer in Germany in the area of Islamic theology and religion.

Background - The Insight

One key feature is the combination of different academic disciplines, such as in migration research, cognitive science, environmental systems research and early modern research. Highly visible key areas include the prevention of occupational skin diseases, as well as early childhood education. The Research Centre for Cellular Nanoanalytics Osnabrück opened in 2017.

In 2014, the university was awarded one of the most highly endowed research awards in Germany, a Humboldt Professorship in Environmental Economics. The university is also home to Germany’s newest botanical garden.

What's special here?

Osnabrück has the smallest student residence in Germany. The small half-timbered tower, part of the medieval city fortifications, offers unusual living space for one person on three storeys.
