University of Bamberg is a public university in Bamberg, Bavaria, Germany. The four faculties of the university are: the humanities; human sciences and education; social and economic sciences; information systems and applied computer science . The institutional development includes 1647 — the Academia Bambergensis was founded by the Prince-Bishop Melchior Otto Voit von Salzburg. 1648 — the institution was granted imperial university privileges. Today, the humanities, education, social sciences, economics, business, psychology, information systems and applied computer science are contributing to its academic profile. Bamberg’s significance in this regard is due to it being a UNESCO World Heritage city with a compact urban fabric allowing close links between university buildings, cultural institutions, schools, public organisations, and local employers.

Admission is managed at the program level. Foreign applicants apply via the university portal and according to the procedure indicated for their level. Non-EU applicants pay a processing fee of €60 per application semester from winter 2026/27. Applicants should check the language of instruction, entry semester, subject prerequisites, selection procedure and document route before applying. International school or university qualifications may have to be externally assessed, translated and certified and for some countries, accompanied by APS documentation and/or further evidence of academic equivalence. Master’s committees may require module descriptions, portfolios, writing samples, professional experience or interviews. Admission to the doctoral program is independent of admission to the bachelor’s or master’s programs and normally requires a viable research proposal, eligible supervision and formal acceptance by the responsible faculty.

Regular degree study usually is free of tuition. Students pay the semester contribution as indicated in the enrolment notice. For non-EU applications, a processing fee of €60 will be charged starting winter 2026/27. These institutional fees exclude rent, health insurance, food, learning materials, residence formalities, project costs or personal travel. If provided for by the relevant law or program regulation, special tuition may be provided for continuing-education, distance-learning, joint, second-degree, or long-term study formats. Funding (e.g. BAföG for eligible students, Deutschlandstipendium, DAAD and Erasmus+ mobility support, foundations, research employment or university-specific awards) is available, but each funding application is evaluated separately from admission.

The career preparation reflects the subject mix of the university and is not a placement scheme with guarantyd positions. Bamberg’s strengths connect graduates with education, culture, public administration, research, business, consulting, software, data and information-systems positions. Internships, applied projects, research assistantships, employer events, language development, entrepreneurship services, international mobility, and an externally partnered thesis provide students with the opportunity to increase their professional readiness. Bamberg is especially good for students who want a compact historic city, strong humanities and social sciences, or an unusually close link between business and applied computing.
