Be Justus

Study where you are more
than just a number.

From Agricultural Economics to Art Education and Slavic Studies – the broad range of subjects offered at Justus Liebig University (JLU) has the right degree course for everyone. And in many of the smaller subjects you can study in small groups, giving you the chance to make friends for life, and there are professors who take time to supervise you individually.

Study where
it is young and lively.

Giessen is Germany’s student town No. 1. In ratio to the population, there is no other place that has so many students. That’s why you will find fellow students off campus, too – by the River Lahn, in restaurants and cafés. Students contribute to the way Giessen is – especially thanks to their creative input in art, culture and music.

Study where
you can afford to live

Giessen is a great place to live in – and at affordable prices. The cost of living and the rent in shared accommodation or for an apartment are reasonable in comparison with Frankfurt am Main and many other large cities. That way you can save money – and time, because you are never far from the university.
