The University of Passau owes its strong visibility and renown to excellent research, innovative teaching and its tight-knit international academic networks. Some 13,000 students and more than 1,100 staff study and work on our University campus, which is located a stone’s throw from the historical Old Town of Passau and combines state-of-the-art technical infrastructure with award-winning architecture. Internationally successful high-technology companies and a vibrant start-up scene, coupled with a rich culture and Lower Bavarian traditions, give Passau and the surrounding area a special appeal that makes it a great place to live and work.
Teaching and research at the University of Passau are conducted under the overarching theme of Digitalisation, Networked Society and (Internet) Cultures. Members of all faculties are in the process of establishing a unique, internationally-orientated forum for ground-breaking interdisciplinary research on one of the greatest challenges of our time: the societal implications of digitalisation. Staff are expected to work together closely on this interdisciplinary theme and provide a substantial contribution to the internationally visible research of the University.
