Campus Life in Greifswald

Studying in Greifswald is about much more than just attending lectures and sitting exams. You have the opportunity to discover new things with your fellow students and learn together. You’ll make lifelong friends and grow both personally and professionally.

Campus life in Greifswald has a special atmosphere: it is compact, friendly and characterised by short distances. Between lecture halls, the library and the Mensa, you’ll always have time for a chat or a visit to the Museum Harbour. If you want to keep your caffeine levels up, you’ll find plenty of cosy cafés not only in the town centre, you can also enjoy a relaxing coffee break in the popular “ins grüne” cafés at the university (they serve the best chocolate crust cheesecake!).

There is also plenty of variety outside of your studies. The possibilities of getting involved [de] are endless. Whether it’s the student theatre, department student councils, choirs, environmental or cultural projects – if you want to make a difference, you’re sure to find something that takes your taste. Speaking of being active: 

with over 80 different courses on offer, University Sport invites you to join in. Filipino martial arts? Traditional Greek dances? Improvisational theatre? Besides the usual sports activities, the wide range of courses provides you with plenty of options to try out something new. 

This creates a vibrant community on our campus where learning, research and living are closely intertwined in a dynamic, personal and open-minded setting. Give it a go, find your place and help shape campus life!
