The University of Augsburg was founded in 1970 and is thus one of the new, modern universities in Bavaria. At approximately 19,000 students and an academic staff of about 1,200, it is still of a manageable size, yet it attracts students and scholars from far beyond its immediate catchment area. The University of Augsburg offers a wide range of academic programmes in arts, humanities, natural sciences, business and law.
The University of Augsburg belongs to the top 400 universities in Europe.
