Location
Braunschweig is a lively student city situated in northern Germany. With a population of around 250,000, it is big enough to feel cosmopolitan and yet small enough not to be overwhelming. As an important cultural and political centre dating back to the Middle Ages, Braunschweig retains the imprint of each passing age, from the medieval castle and the Gothic cathedral to modern shopping streets and leisure facilities.
Braunschweig has an international reputation as a city of research. The high density of national and international companies and scientific research institutes located in and around the city make Braunschweig the most active research and development region in all of Europe.
