Student Life
Campus life
The university has two campuses. Situated only a few kilometres from the centre of Saarbrücken in a pleasant woodland setting, the main campus is home to most of the university’s faculties and departments. Homburg is about 30 kilometres from the Saarbrücken campus. As one of Germany’s recognized family-friendly higher-education institutions, Saarland University runs two child day-care facilities on campus.
The cafés and lawns situated around the Saarbrücken campus are perfect for meeting up with friends or relaxing between classes. The surrounding woodland and the nearby wildlife park offer plenty of opportunities for a relaxing walk or an after-class run.
Sports facilities
Through the ‘Elite Sports Partnership’ initiative, the university also helps young top athletes balance the demands of academic study with the requirements of their intensive training regimens. All students have access to over 60 different types of sport via the University Sports Programme.
Student clubs
Cultural life at Saarland University is varied and vibrant. In addition to the orchestras and choirs in the university’s Collegium Musicum, there are numerous student theatre groups and for movie fans the Students’ Union Executive Committee (AStA) screens a film once a week.
