Germany - Bayreuth Local Name: Universität Bayreuth

The University of Bayreuth is one of the youngest universities in Germany and offers its approximately 9500 students a wide range of possibilities.
Being a Campus-University, there is no trekking halfway across the city from one classroom to the next and again to the cafeteria for something to eat as it is common in most other university towns in Germany. All university facilities are centralised on one campus which is located on the southern outskirts of Bayreuth and within easy reach from the city center.
It is a young university with "shortcuts" to efficient study which offers its students excellent learning conditions. Professor and Assistant Lecturers do not hold lectures in anonymous, jam-packed lecture halls; they know the faces and names of their students. Study groups and tutors help with advice and tutoring whenever learning doesn't go as well as expected.
Moreover, teaching and research is supported by a high-performance Computer Center, by a well-equipped main library with a series of satellite libraries and a language center that brings the German language close to foreign students and also prepares German students for a period of study abroad.
Accommodation in Bayreuth is no problem, either. Student dormitories are located right next to the campus and affordable student apartments are also available in the vicinity. The bus from the city center takes just 10 minutes to reach the campus and goingby bike is a good and time-saving option insummer. As there is more to spending time at aforeign university than only studying and because studying should also be fun, some of the leisure activities that Bayreuth has to offer have to be mentioned.
