Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg
Summary
The Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg () (Short: OVGU) was founded in 1993 and is located in Magdeburg, the Capital city of Saxony-Anhalt. The university has about 13,000 students in nine faculties.
The University is named after the physicist and former mayor of Magdeburg Otto von Guericke. The main research areas of the university are in the neurosciences, biosystems technology, disease prevention, automotive research, digital engineering and renewable energies.
One of the best-known alumni and professors is the Leibniz Prize winner Axel Ockenfels.
The university was founded in 1993 and is therefore one of the youngest universities in Germany. The roots of the university lie in the three higher education institutions that previously existed in the city of Magdeburg: Technical University, University of Education and Medical Academy. Due to the three predecessor institutions, there are still three campuses today: "Universitätsplatz", "Universitätsklinikum" and "Zschokkestrasse". Since 2022, Otto von Guericke University has been part of the european university network "EU Green" along with eight other universities. This is intended to promote international cooperation in order to adequately meet future social challenges.
Magdeburg
Magdeburg is the capital of the state of Saxony-Anhalt in Germany. It is a moderately-sized city located right in the middle between Berlin, Hannover and Leipzig. The city is crossed by the river Elbe on the banks of which the OVG university has its main structures. One advantage of staying and studying in Magdeburg is the simple and favourable living costs. Public transportation in Magdeburg is very advanced and free for the students of the university. A popular bar location for students is the Hasselbachplatz.
