Doctoral Studies at UR

Why do your Doctoral Studies at UR?

The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation has ranked University of Regensburg as the most popular university for international scholars in the natural sciences:

"Every stay is the result of a decision to select a host and research partner in Germany and makes a statement about the disciplines in which German research is so good that it wins the international contest for the best minds; and about which German scientists and scholars foster particularly intensive international contacts. Humboldtians do, after all, choose their own hosts and make their own decisions based on the hosts’ academic performance and international visibility. So, being near the top of the Humboldt Rankings is an important indicator for international contacts and reputation." 

University of Regensburg is simply the best place to live! We are No 1 in Europe and Germany with regards to living circumstances according to a survey of international students (i-graduate 2010).
