Tübingen is a university town in the center of Baden-Württemberg. It is located at the river Neckar about 30 kilometers south of Stuttgart. The University of Tübingen is one of Europe’s oldest universities. Tübingen today remains a place of research and teaching. In addition to the nearly 86,000 inhabitants, there are some 28,500 German and international students. Some 450 professors and more than 4000 other academic staff teach at the University’s seven faculties. The latest chapter of the University’s history is marked by its success in the German federal and state governments’ Excellence Initiative. “International since 1477” – the perfect way to summarize the University of Tübingen.
