The University of Passau is a university of short distances, with a manageable-sized campus that is just a few minutes' walk from the historic Old Town of Passau. The scenic, modern campus next to the river Inn is a great place to catch a breath of fresh air between classes. 

We wish to thank the local tourism association (Tourismusverband Ostbayern e. V.) for allowing us to use their picture material of the Bavarian Forest, a major tourist destination in the region.
