Founded in 1477, Mainz University is one of the oldest German universities. In its diversity of students, its global outlook, as well as its outstanding research it is also a university of compelling change. The University is one of the largest in Germany, and it is the research center of the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate. With degree programs available in more than ninety subjects and in numerous combinations, the range of courses we offer is extremely wide and covers all areas, be it the humanities, social studies, law, economics, or medicine. Moreover, the integration of the Academy of Fine Arts and the School of Music is unique in the German landscape of higher education.
