Last year, Münster won first place in the international LivCom Awards competition to find the world’s cities with the best quality of life. The city in North Rhine-Westphalia has long been a favourite with students from all over the world. A total of 39,000 students study 120 subjects in 15 departments. More than 250 institutes and seminars are engaged in both pure and applied research. Among others, key areas include molecular cell dynamics, symbolic communication and molecular orientation. University-based research is supported by 16 institutes that are externally financed but work very closely with the departments of the university. One special feature of Münster is the fact that although the university’s almost 300 buildings are spread throughout the city, they can still all be easily reached by bicycle.
