With close to 40,000 students from approx. 100 different nationalities,  WWU Münster University is one of the largest and most diversified  universities in Germany, with strong and closely interacting faculties  in the natural and life sciences.
WWU is not a campus university; instead, the different faculties and  institutes are spread all over town so that the university truly becomes  an integral part of the city. WWU offers ca. 250 courses in more than  110 subjects, from undergraduate Bachelor courses to graduate Master  courses up to doctoral programs. All study programs are carrying  accreditation seals of reputed accreditation agencies, and they are  subject to regular national and international evaluation.
The study programs of the Faculty of Biology – as the only ones in  natural or life sciences in all of Germany – won the prestigious best  practice award “Reform-Studiengang” of the “Stifterverband für die  deutsche Wissenschaft”, the business community’s innovation agency for  the German science system.
Furthermore, WWU Münster University cooperates closely with other  universities and research centres in academia and industry in various  different areas, both nationally and internationally.
