Uni München

The “world city with a big heart” is also a world city of learning: with 80,000 students at 11 universities, universities of applied science and other higher education institutions, Munich is Germany’s second largest centre of scholarship after Berlin. Furthermore, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität is on the way to joining the Top Ten of European universities. 47,000 students are registered at Munich’s largest university, which is also one of the Germany’s strongest research centres. Take political science, for example: whether it is the Middle East conflict, globalization or EU enlargement, policymakers constantly seek guidance from researchers at the Centrum für angewandte Politikforschung. The Technische Universität München (TUM) has won a whole series of awards. For example, it was the only European university to receive a distinction for outstanding research in the 2004 Sun Java System Campus Awards organized by Sun Microsystems. Spiegel, the weekly newsmagazine, rated the university as the best German higher education institution. Since 1961, three Nobel Prizes have gone to the university, whose main emphases include new high-technologies, biophysics and tumour research. Places at the HochschuleHochschule
