Here, you can make friends with people from all over the world, and, of course, with locals, too! Our students join cultural and international societies, meet up regularly for pub nights for language learners and speakers, organise and attend internationally themed events, and teach each other to cook dishes from all around the world. In Passau, intercultural exchanges are a part of life!

Many of our degree programmes are designed with multinational and multilingual aspects. Your fellow students may well have special interest in one cultural sphere or another. You may come across students who will want to ask you dozens of questions about your own home country for their studies, which can be a useful conversation starter!
Since the passing of the Bavarian Higher Education Innovation Act 2022, universities in Bavaria can charge students from non-EU countries tuition fees if they wish. The University of Passau would like to clarify that we are not planning to introduce tuition fees at this time. If you are thinking about enrolling on a degree course in Passau, we would like to warmly invite you to apply!
Our many double degree programmes are a real highlight! It takes only a small amount of extra effort to get two degrees - one from the University of Passau and one from a university in another country. These qualifications can open doors and make you a very attractive prospect to employers around the world!
