The University of Munich is a public institution that traces its roots back to 1472. It is situated in Munich – the capital of Bavaria and one of the largest cities in Germany. The university's downtown campus is home to the social science and humanities disciplines, while its “HighTechCampus” in the southeast part of the city is home to the natural and life sciences. In a recent year, just more than half of the university's students were studying at the undergraduate level. Students at LMU Munich, as the university is sometimes called, generally do not pay tuition. However, some of the school's English-taught degree programs charge tuition. A limited amount of student housing is available through Studentenwerk München, or the Munich Student Union, a public organization.In all, the university has 18 academic divisions, including faculties of business administration, medicine and social sciences and offers more than 200 degree programs. The primary language of instruction at the University of Munich is German. However, the institution does offer some English-taught master’s degree programs, including programs in economics, neuro-cognitive psychology and software engineering. The university's academic calendar is semester-based, with classes beginning in October and April. The University of Munich has around 50 research centers, such as the Center for Neuropathology, the Center for Quantitative Risk Analysis and the Munich Center for Ethics. The university also boasts more than a dozen external partner research institutes, including the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts and the Institute of Law for Lawyers.
