Being near the sea makes Rostock and the surrounding area a popular choice with students. But there are other reasons to study here than fantastic beaches, beautiful countryside and a vibrant student scene. Numerous pubs, bakeries, cafés and cultural institutions in the region offer discounts to students, and public transport is included in their term fees, so students can get around basically for free.
Even more importantly, there is a huge range of courses on offer in the GREATER ROSTOCK region. In fact, at the region’s seven institutes of higher education, it’s possible to study almost anything. Some of the over 250 courses on offer are ONLY available here. Demography, for instance. Or aquaculture. Or piano duets. Rostock has a long academic tradition, being home to the Baltic region’s oldest university- today world-renowned for its research and teaching. The other institutes of higher education in the region offer also a dazzling array of subjects, ranging from social work to music, design and police sciences.
