About the University
University in the centre of the Rhine-Ruhr region
The University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE) - one of the youngest and largest universities in Germany - is located in the middle of the Ruhr Metropolitan Region. Its broad spectrum of subjects ranges from humanities, social sciences and education to economics, engineering, natural sciences and medicine.
Since its foundation in 2003, the UDE has developed into a globally recognized research university.

We. Together.
We promote the exchange of knowledge, perspectives, talents and cultivate partnerships.

Equal opportunities for all
Righteous education: We do not talk about equal opportunities, we promote and live them.

Getting to the bottom of things
We research and teach to develop sustainable designs and solutions.

Research: Lucky number five
Broadly positioned, but also strong at the top: The UDE sets five profile focal points.
