Program Overview

About University of Bayreuth

Founded in 1975, University of Bayreuth is a public research university located in Bayreuth in Germany. The University has strong profile in interdisciplinary research. The University of Bayreuth has six faculties, Faculty of Mathematics, Physics & Computer Science, Faculty of Biology, Chemistry & Earth Sciences, Faculty of Law, Business & Economics, Faculty of Languages & Literatures, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences and Faculty of Engineering Science.

About Bayreuth

Bayreuth in Upper Franconia (Oberfranken) is relatively quiet most of the year until the Richard Wagner Festival settles in for 30 days every summer. Bayreuth features a wealth of impressive baroque and rococo architecture, as well as freshly-brewed Franconian beer in the local Biergartens. Although the city remains fairly tame compared to the much larger cities in Germany, the presence of more than 10,000 students at the University of Bayreuth means an active nightlife is not difficult to find.


Term date

  • Host Institutions usually organize orientation activities for exchange students, with some mandatory, which take place 1-2 weeks before the start of the term. You should refer to the acceptance package and pay attention to the expected arrival or pick-up dates specified by your host institution.
  • You should only depart after finishing all the final examinations (including resits) since host institutions will not make special arrangement for taking any examinations other than scheduled.
