What you should think about

Welcome to the Wild East!

We are a small university with a lot to offer at two locations. The university is located in the easternmost tip of Germany and thus in the heart of Europe.  Zittau and  Görlitz both impress with a wonderful old town that invites you to linger and enjoy. Both cities have wonderful lakes in the immediate vicinity, where you can relax after a strenuous day at university or get some exercise. The short distances between campus, home and leisure activities will amaze you. The  ZittauMountains invite you to go hiking and climbing. The European city of Görlitz offers pure culture, and there is plenty to discover along the Via Regia ! Just take a look around.
