3. University
of Munich
University in the heart of Munich. LMU is recognized as one
of Europe's premier academic and research institutions. Since our founding in
1472, LMU has attracted inspired scholars and talented students from all over
the world, keeping the University at the nexus of ideas that challenge and
change our complex world.
University is in the heart of Munich.
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München is one of the leading research
universities in Europe, with a more than 500-year-long tradition. The
University is committed to the highest international standards of excellence in
research and teaching.
When Duke Ludwig the Wealthy of Bavaria-Landshut founded
Bavaria's first university with a papal concession in 1472, no one could
imagine that over the next five hundred years it would move twice and emerge as
one of the largest universities in Germany, providing some of the country's
strongest research. The university began with four faculties in Ingolstadt,
where it witnessed the flowering of German humanism and played a major role in
the Counter-Reformation. The move to Landshut saw the growing influence of the
Enlightenment on the university. The second move, this time to the heart of the
royal capital Munich, brought an expansion of the faculties and a huge advance
in the sciences. Today LMU Munich has matured into one of the world’s leading
international universities, fully competitive with the other major institutions
of higher learning and research. It continues to build on its distinct identity
and its core skills in research and instruction in order to confront both
academic challenges and the hugely complex demands of our changing world.
4. University
of Freiburg
Already
a comprehensive university at its founding in 1457, the University of Freiburg

Many
famous philosophers, top researchers, and Nobel laureates have taught and
researched at the University of Freiburg. The university’s recent success in
the “Excellence” competitions, 2007 for research and 2009 for instruction,
testifies to its position as one of the leading universities of the 21st
century.
More
than 24,000 students from over 100 nations are matriculated in 180 degree
programs at 11 faculties. More than 7,000 professors and lecturers and many

friendliness, equal opportunity, and environmental protection are more than
just empty phrases here.
Numerous
former students as well as benefactors and sponsors intensify a culture of
dynamic exchange with the city, the region, and the international scientific
community.
All

University
of Frankfurt
Goethe
University Frankfurt, positioned among the top international research
universities, offers a wide variety of academic programmes, a diverse group of
research institutes, and a focus on interdisciplinary approaches to solving
complex problems. The university is named after Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the
Frankfurt-born polymath renowned for his exceptional contributions to
literature, science, and philosophy.
Founded
in 1914 with private funding and inspired by the legacy of the European
Enlightenment, Goethe University stands out as a pioneering “citizens’
university”—and the history of the university is one of openness and public
participation.Today, Goethe University is one of the only universities in
Germany that enjoys significant public funding alongside administrative
autonomy and the ability to create a private endowment.
As
a university with an endowment, a funding model rare in Germany’s system of
higher education, GU enjoys considerable freedom from state control when it
comes to the details of how a modern university should be run, including the
appointing of professors. The endowment that is being built up will be invested
specifically in promoting an excellent atmosphere in which to research, study,
think, and create.
Situated
in Germany’s most cosmopolitan and international city, the university attracts
a diverse body of students and researchers from around the world. Students at
Goethe benefit from studying and living in Frankfurt, the largest financial and
trading centre in Europe—with plenty of opportunities to learn and practise
speaking German. Today, Frankfurt is ratedamong the top 10 most liveable cities
in the world (according toMercer Human Resource Consulting).
7. University
of Goettingen
The
founding of Göttingen University took place at the instance of the local ruler
Elector George Augustus of Hanover (who was at the same time the King of Great
Britain as George II due to the personal union with Great Britain and Ireland
from 1714), after whom the University was named. The actual "spiritus
rector" (guiding spirit) of this new foundation was Hanover Minister
Gerlach Adolph Baron of Münchhausen who created a new type of university: the
Georgia Augusta served the goals of enlightenment even more consistently than
Halle University, which was only a few decades older. Accordingly, scientific
research was freed from censorship by the church (Münchhausen as the
representative of the Elector however reserved for himself the right of
censorship), and at the same time academic teaching was given high priority.
The library, which was systematically sponsored and developed, was open to the
students as well – which was a shocking innovation at the time; for emerging
and seminal scientific disciplines, Münchhausen created new professorships to
which he systematically appointed outstanding representatives of their
subjects. Lectures at the University commenced in 1734, and the official
inauguration took place in the presence of Münchhausen in 1737.
Göttingen
University is the only university in Northern Germany that was selected to
receive funding within the framework of the Initiative for Excellence of the
Federation and the Länder (states). It was selected for its institutional
strategy "Göttingen. Tradition – Innovation – Autonomy". The concept
for project-oriented development of top-class university research involves the
measures Brain Gain, Brain Sustain, LichtenbergKolleg, and Göttingen
International. The Göttingen Graduate School for Neurosciences and Molecular
Biosciences and the excellence cluster "Microscopy at the Nanometer
Range" also came out as winners at the excellence competition.
