Fulda

An ancient religious center and Baroque marvel

Located in Hesse, Fulda once trained the missionaries who converted modern Germany to Christianity. Later on, in the 17th and 18th centuries, the city underwent a spectacular face-lift, acquiring some of the most beautiful Baroque architecture in Europe. And it's now a transport hub, largely thanks to its location at the heart of Germany.

Created in 1974, the university awards Bachelor's and Master's degrees, along with Ph.D. qualifications, and specializes in computer science, business administration, food technology, nursing, and social work.
