The Research Universities of the Bavarian university sector offer both students and staff high educational standards, a wide range of academic choice and an up-to-date organizational framework. In recent decades, Bavaria has developed from a predominantly agrarian state into a top-notch international location for science and research. Its attraction lies in the fact that Bavaria welcomes international students and research scientists and has much to offer them.

 

If you come to Bavaria, you will find vibrant towns and cities on the one hand, and on the other, delightful countryside ranging from the low mountains of northern Bavaria to the Alps and the magnificent lakes of the south. Not for nothing is Bavaria the most popular German state among tourists from all over the world. Nature provides almost unlimited opportunities for active leisure pursuits: skiing and swimming, hiking and mountaineering, adventure sports, and simply enjoying nature.

 

Bavaria also has more than its fair share of cultural highlights to offer: world-famous royal castles such as Neuschwanstein, internationally renowned art galleries and museums such as the Pinakotheken and the Deutsches Museum in Munich and the New Museum in Nuremberg, numerous music festivals, theaters large and small: everywhere in Bavaria you will experience culture that is alive – for every taste, for every age group, and at every university location.
