Studying and Working in Münster

Münster has a good claim to being Germany's most liveable city. For one thing, it's brilliantly adapted for cyclists, with more than 500,000 bicycles in the metropolitan area. The historic core is dotted with architectural jewels, from the cathedral and St Lambertkirche, to modern gems like the Stubengasse mall. Above all else, Münster is a city of learning. The first university opened its doors in 1733, and 8 institutions call Münster home, offering exceptional researchers in cell biology, humanities, battery science, and many other subjects.

Courses tend to be oriented towards career progression, especially those based in the impressive Innovation Quarter, where academics and companies come together to spearhead new technical ideas.
