I would say that the atmosphere is quite vibrant. We study at the Schloss and there are countless great places on campus. Whether you study in one of the libraries, attend the legendary Schneckenhof parties or visit events organized by the departmental student committees or student organizations, you will find your favorite places. After lectures, you can hang out with friends in front of the EO Bar&Lounge – or if you're more of a morning person, you can start the day with a latte macchiato at Café Soleil. You will not get bored here. 

For me, the best thing of all is how easy it is to meet people from all over the world, connect with them, spend time with them, and immerse yourself in other cultures along the way! 

Apart from the academic hustle and bustle, student life is anything but quiet. The university offers an extensive sports program, numerous cultural and musical activities and the legendary parties, which take place outdoors every Thursday in the Schneckenhof. If you would like to get involved, you can choose from over 50 student organizations, student political associations and departmental student committees .

Would you like to stay at the University of Mannheim after you have earned your master’s degree and pursue a career in academia? The university has compiled information on doctoral studies and programs for prospective female researchers.

Career prospects vary greatly depending on the program. In the presentation of our study programs, there is a section that lists typical career fields for the respective degree.
The University of Mannheim has many offers that make it easier to find a job: As part of the Made in Mannheim FIT for Career Program, the university supports international degree-seeking students when looking for work in Germany.

The longer you stay in Mannheim, the more you fall in love with the city. When people ask me about my university, they often respond, “It's a great university, but the city is ugly, isn't it?” – I strongly disagree. Mannheim is so versatile and diverse that I am sure that there is something for everyone.

I would describe the city as a wild potpourri of past and present: old and new buildings side by side, colorful surroundings and corners that look elegant and modern next to chunky concrete blocks. Whether it's the chic Oststadt, the perpetually youthful and boisterous Jungbusch, or the vibrant “Little Istanbul,” there's always something happening. Some even call the city “the little Berlin in the south.” Every part of the city is different and has its own charm.

As international students, we often face the same challenges: The experience of feeling homesick for family and friends, adjusting to German culture, and navigating a foreign city and country.

But over time, you overcome these hurdles. You even grow from them. In the end, you will be stronger than you have ever dreamed. It may not always be easy, but it is a wonderful experience that allows you to grow and mature. And given all the great experiences that can be discovered along the way, that's wonderful.
