Idyllically situated on the banks of the River Inn, on a green campus, on the fringes of the Passau old town, lies the newest university in Bavaria. Since being founded in 1978 it has developed into one of the best academic addresses in Germany as regularly confirmed in the rankings: in Economics, Law and International Cultural and Business Studies, Passau is one of the top universities. Computer Science is an ‘insider’ tip: excellent academic staff provide intensive supervision of the highest academic standard. Innovative teaching concepts as, for example in the teacher training courses and in theology complete the picture. All five faculties are superbly equipped, interculturally oriented, and performance and practice related. Their special strength lies in the interdisciplinary interlinking of research and studies.
