A new university, city and country can be confusing to navigate at first. Marburg University offers support at every step of the way, whether you’re part of an undergraduate, graduate or short-term programme or seeking to complete an entire degree at our university.

Incoming non-degree students to Marburg University who participate in the Erasmus+ or Overseas programmes, apply for housing in their application workflow via Mobility Online. In addition, the Marburg University provides comprehensive information on the process of securing accommodation in central or surrounding areas. 

For information on student dormitories, please visit the website of the Studierendenwerk. Student dormitory room prices range from €250-500, depending on location and size of the room or apartment.

Private accommodation can be, but is not always, higher in price, yet still constitutes a valid alternative to the limited dormitory space.

Marburg University’s course catalogue offers a wide variety of choices to students of all departments. 

Please note! The course catalogue is typically published in early August for the winter semester and early March for the spring semester. We advice students to make their initial academic course choices based on the previous year’s course listings as the vast majority of classes/modules will be offered again. 

For an international experience while staying in place:
MO:VE is a great opportunity to take courses at Marburg University and improve your intercultural competences without the need to go abroad. If you are currently enrolled at one of our partner universities, MO:VE is free of charge.

Marburg University uses a grading scale with a point system ranging from 0 to 15 points. 15 points mark the highest achievable grade; 5 points mark the lowest passing grade; anything below 5 is considered a fail.
