Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich is a public research university located in Munich, Germany. The University of Munich is Germany's sixth-oldest university in continuous operation. Ludwig Maximilian Universität München is a leading research university in Europe. Since its founding in 1472 it has been committed to the highest international standards of excellence in research and teaching. Its vibrant campuses are distributed in and around Munich, a city renowned for culture and the sciences.

Over the course of five centuries, LMU has been at the center of religious and political transformations. It was a bulwark of the Counter Reformation. Jesuits, secular reformers and Nobel Laureates all contributed to its fame. But its standing was gravely damaged during the 12 years of Nazi dictatorship, when fanatical adherents of Nazi ideology transformed the venerable institution into a pliant tool of the regime.

Munich is one of the major seats of knowledge and learning in Germany and one of Europe's foremost centers for research and education, technology and the media. The university campuses are strategically located throughout Munich and are designed to inspire, expand and enrich your mind. All offer cutting-edge facilities and technology, a full range of services and activities for both students and academics. LMU forms an integral part of the exceptionally broad-based network of research institutions, universities, foundations, and corporations based in Munich. As a major center for technology, cultural institutions and the media, Munich possesses an ideal range of infrastructure for study and research. LMU is closely intertwined with the city's other research institutions, including the Technische Universitaet Muenchen, the Max Planck Society and the Fraunhofer Society, with global enterprises, a vibrant start-up scene and prestigious libraries and museums.

LMU degree programs combine learning, creativity and access to the latest research. From Ancient History to Veterinary Medicine, the University's academic portfolio spans a multitude of knowledge fields. MU doesn't disappoint. On top of studying, there's a variety of stimulating academic opportunities on offer — and all this in the heart of the beautiful city of Munich. Students should immerse themselves in the diverse community, and a world of intellectual and professional opportunities will open up to them.
