Ni hao!

The challenges we face are global—and so must be our response.

LMU will continue to strengthen its role as a university open to the world, where knowledge knows no borders and collaboration drives discovery.
Prof. Dr. med. Dr. h.c. Matthias H. Tschöp

President of LMU Munich
A true universitas with a long history, LMU is one of the great German research universities, and its roots reach deep into the past. It was founded in Ingolstadt in 1472, and flourished during the Age of Humanism. By the time it was transferred to Landshut in 1800, its faculty had absorbed the spirit of the Age of Enlightenment. The move to the capital city of the young Kingdom of Bavaria in 1826 ushered in a period of academic expansion that saw the incorporation of new fields of research and the establishment of new faculties. Today LMU Munich forms part of an international network of leading research universities. Covering a broad and increasingly differentiated array of fields, LMU offers an environment that provides a first-rate education and nurtures innovative research.
Diverse. Excellent. LMU
