From its period as an imperial city to the last third of the twentieth century, Augsburg had several educational centres whose significance extended far beyond the city's boundaries, but not a university. The lyceum, established in 1834 and annexed a year later to the re-established Benedictine Abbey of St. Stephen.
The University of Augsburg offers a broad spectrum of almost 90 degree programmes in humanities and social sciences, business and law, natural and engineering sciences, medicine and computer science.

Some of the clases were overcrowded. I would like more practise related classes.
The university of Augsburg offers an amazing opportunity to enter into Business. The courses in the first part of the study are set by the university. For the second half, you have the freedom to choose courses and specialize as you wish, as long as you meet the requirements. The university is well organized and most courses are on campus. During the pandemic, the professors switched to online teaching and some still offer videos online which is great, if you can't attend one of their courses in person.
My university journey has been one of growth, discovery, and determination. When I first began my studies, I was both excited and uncertain about what to expect. Over time, I learned to balance academic demands with personal responsibilities, building resilience and confidence along the way.
