Section overview
Description
Philipps-University is the oldest and most traditional university in the state of Hessen and considers itself to be a classical university offering a full range of courses with a modern approach. Its broad range of arts and humanities, and its experimentally challenging scientific work, constitute an ideal platform for interdisciplinary cooperation. The university relies on innovative teaching methods and networked research, and offers students from all over the world a broad range of courses. As has always been the case, Marburg University contributes to answering the questions of its age: from nanotechnology to the life sciences. Philipps-Universität’s greatest strengths in research lie in the materials sciences, optodynamics, tumor research, microbiology, the neurosciences as well as peace and conflict research, and other natural science and arts subjects, and medicine.
