Combining tradition and modernity? Wismar shows the way: here you will not only feel the remarkable history but also a cosmopolitan yet cosy attitude of a Hanseatic city. Located between Lübeck and Rostock, the Baltic Sea is right on your doorstep and many lakes and ponds are also within easy reach. Additionally, you will also find a large Baltic Sea port located in this UNESCO World Heritage city.
Of the German towns at the Baltic Sea, Wismar is perhaps one of the lesser known – but this small town is well worth a closer look! With the idyllic old town, numerous boats and the cosmopolitan and hospitable culture, Wismar is one of the most beautiful cities on the Baltic Sea. Just under 44,000 people live here, which makes the city quite tranquil. With this size, the distances are also short: along the small and charming alleys you can quickly reach the beach, the campus or the city centre. This leaves you more time for leisure and studying!
Speaking of studying: Wismar has a university of applied sciences with three departments. Over 7,500 students are enrolled here. The university of applied sciences is characterised by smaller study programmes, which makes studying more personal and thus more effective. For a few degree programmes, courses are held at the Rostock-Warnemünde campus or the Malchow campus (Poel Island). Even these locations are also easy and quick to reach from Wismar.
And no matter which campus you are at: between classes, you can relax on one of the many beaches or take a dip in the sea. Now that's a good way to study!
