Würzburg, Germany
Public
Amongst one of the oldest universities in Germany, the University of Würzburg is a public university that has been practicing a rich and long tradition of promoting knowledge and education since the 15th century. Officially known as Julius Maximillian University of Würzburg or JMU, it is located in the student-friendly city of Würzburg which is home to two more universities and a combined population of 40,000 students. Its commitment can be gauged from the fact that it was demolished during World War II but was brought back to life through consistent efforts in the 1960s. While it originally offered courses in Theology, Medicine, Law and Philosophy, JMU’s catalogue of bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees has experienced the introduction of many new age topics such as Biomedicine, Digital Humanities, Media and Communications and human factors in computing systems amongst others. The illustrious list of alumni and scholars of the university include awe-inspiring 14 Nobel Laureates with more than notable names as that of Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen, Emil Fischer and Harald Zur Hausen across fields of Physics, Chemistry and Medicine. The university’s commitment towards cross-disciplinary research and innovation led to the establishment of specialised research centres in the 1990s and then modern graduate schools in 2004.
