Questions, Help & More?

Studying in Summer: What Makes It Special?
The summer semester brings a special dynamic to student life. The days get longer and study sessions can increasingly take place outdoors. Whether in small study groups in the park, over coffee together on campus, or in the sun on the Main meadows – studying in summer is quite enjoyable.
Würzburg: Student Life with Postcard Charm
Würzburg is not without reason considered one of Bavaria’s most beautiful student cities. In summer, the city shows its most vibrant side.
The Main meadows become a meeting point where students gather to study, exercise, or take a break – the possibilities are diverse. The Old Main Bridge and Marienberg Fortress are also great places to spend the evening hours. A bike ride along the Main can also help you unwind after a long day at university.
Numerous events and wine festivals ensure that student life extends far beyond the lecture hall. Summer highlights include the Wein am Stein Festival, the Umsonst & Draussen Festival, Festungsflimmern, and Kiliani at the Talavera grounds. The city beach invites you to relax with refreshing drinks and beach vibes right in the heart of Würzburg.
Schweinfurt: Shaping the Future in a Relaxed Atmosphere
In Schweinfurt, the presence of many large companies creates numerous opportunities for working student positions, practical semesters, or other collaborations. Particularly in technical and business programs, students at the University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt benefit from close connections to regional industry.
Beyond student life, walks along the Main, quiet places to study, and a pleasant balance between leisure and academics invite you to fully enjoy life in Schweinfurt. Art enthusiasts will particularly appreciate the Kunsthalle Schweinfurt or the Museum Georg Schäfer. Those who want to be active will find plenty of opportunities on the Main Cycle Path right on the doorstep or in parks and green spaces. The Schweinfurt City Beach or the Schweinfurt quarry lake provide that special vacation feeling and relaxation in summer.
