University of Passau is a public university in Passau, Bavaria, Germany, with about 12,000 students. The University of Passau has once again achieved a very gratifying success in this year's The Young University Ranking 2022, which placed it in the top 10 percent of all young universities worldwide for the fifth year in a row. 
As of the 2022-2 semester, it is possible to attend this university only if you have a language score of 800 or higher on TOEIC. It is possible to attend here for up to a year, and students can take all classes in English. Students can attend the Department of Catholic Theology, Faculty of Law, Faculty of Business, Economics and Information Systems, Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics, etc. Since Passau University does not provide a separate dormitory, students must find their own suburban accommodation. The school provides information on this separately, so you don't have to worry too much.  In Passau, the cost of living is lower than in other German cities. According to the University of Passau, the average local cost of living for students is estimated to be around 760 euros per month. 
Passau is located right next to the Austrian border and is a small town that takes about two hours by train from Munich. Passau is a city where the Donau River, Ingang River, and Iltz River meet and is also called the city of water. The colors of the water are all different, so you can see the mysterious color of the water where the rivers meet. 
 There are many Gothic and Baroque structures. St. Stephen's Cathedral was built in the Baroque style by an Italian architect, and the cathedral itself is a work of art. The pipe organ in the cathedral is the world's second-largest pipe organ. Passau is a very small town where you can finish sightseeing in a day, and you can travel easily without a map. With a population of about 50,000 and a student population of 12,000 students, one-fifth of the area is considered the city with the highest student density in Germany. 
Passau University provides students with necessary news and school information through Instagram and its official website. In particular, the official website provides detailed school introductions for exchange students, and it also kindly guides students' support procedures, living expenses, and accommodation facilities. All the information, including curriculum, exchange students, and degree acquisition, contains the personal information of the coordinator in charge, so you can easily contact the person in charge for more information. 
If you want to experience the exchange student life in a beautiful small town, with low living expenses, and various department curriculum, I recommend Passau University.
