Want to take part in world-class research at a major university or tap into your own potential in a vibrant community?
Study in an international network as a global citizen or focus on pressing local challenges?
Delve deep into one subject down to the last detail or discover the fascinating multitude of academic topics and theories?

At JGU, you can have it all, because these different worlds don’t collide – they coalesce. At JGU, you study in a way that works for you and pick up what knowledge you need you along the way.

Studying and researching together, getting to know and understanding cultures, making friends around the globe and across faculties – at JGU, we get to know each other.

It is the only German university of its size with nearly all of its institutions on a central campus close to the city center. The campus combines an optimal (and digital) infrastructure for learning with varied and diverse options for enjoying leisure time. You will find teaching and research buildings, student dorms, daycare centers, sports facilities and cafés alongside lecture halls and rehearsal and exhibition spaces.

Whether you retreat to a library to study, take a break in a nearby café or go for a walk in the botanic garden between lectures; whether you take part in a theater group or practice with the choir, join a university sports course or support your fellow students in a project – your next stop is always only a few steps away on the Gutenberg campus!

The university locations beyond the main campus – at the Mainz University Medical Center or on the Germersheim campus – are also characterized by short distances, easy accessibility, and an excellent infrastructure.
