Institution Profile
 

The Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich (LMU) is the first University that was founded in Bavaria. Established in 1427, it grew to become the largest university in Germany, currently having close to 48000 registered students, over 800 professors and 3000 researchers in about 19 faculties. The university is situated close the centre of the city Munich, which is situated in the south of Germany in the centre of Bavaria. Munich's charm and agricultural variety has attracted many companies to move to Bavaria, which offers students vast opportunities for internships and permanent positions with well-known companies.

According to Times Higher Education Supplement (THES) Rankings in 2008, LMU is the third highest ranked German university after the University of Heidelberg and the Technical University of Munich.
