Campus Life

Goethe University is spread across several locations, including the modern and vibrant Westend Campus, the innovative Riedberg Campus for natural sciences, the historic Bockenheim Campus, the medically focused Niederrad Campus, and the Ginnheim Sports Campus.  

The campus facilities are equipped with modern amenities, featuring spacious green areas, cafés, libraries, and study spaces. Many even consider the magnificent Westend Campus to be one of the most beautiful campuses in Europe.

Over 30 student groups and initiatives offer countless opportunities to get involved socially, culturally, or in university politics — from sustainability projects to music, sports, or student legal counseling.  

The network of active students fosters a vibrant community: New students can attend events like the "unistart" fair on Westend Campus, where groups introduce themselves and personal connections are easily made.  

Frankfurt is an international metropolis, consistently ranked among the most livable cities worldwide. Students benefit from a vibrant club and cultural scene, world-class museums, diverse pubs, and direct access to nature.  

Students can quickly reach the city’s hotspots by bike or with the Semesterticket – the transition from campus to the lively city life is seamless.

The university values personal responsibility but offers comprehensive support services: Central student advice and counseling, digital services, student associations, and dedicated tutors are available to make starting and navigating your entire period of study easier. Practical offerings like sports courses, student housing, and a bicycle self-help workshop enrich university life.
