Quick profile*

Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz provides an ideal study environment in the heart of Rhine-Hesse. Courses at the university offer both research-based teaching and also all the advantages of a campus university in a state capital with an abundance of cultural activities.

“Ut omnes unum sint” – That they may all be one – is the university's motto. But what might sound old-fashioned in Latin is actually highly topical today: the university is a place where cultural, social and individual diversity are held in high esteem. In fact, young people from over 130 nations study and research here.

Support for early career researchers and career guidance

Students at Johannes Gutenberg University can go on to undertake a doctorate in all subjects offered. Along with the option of individual doctoral training, Johannes Gutenberg University also has various graduate schools and graduate centres. The university conducts top-level research in natural sciences, the humanities and social sciences and medicine.
It also offers students professional guidance for the transition to employment and career planning.
