Best Global Universities Rankings by U.S. News & World Report presents all the top universities from the U.S. and 60 other countries around the world. They measure the rate of students going to their second year of studies, as well as the rate of students who graduate. It also asks university representatives on the performance of universities, and evaluates university resources, teacher salaries, graduation rates, student academic achievements and satisfaction. After calculating and comparing these criteria, U.S. News ranks the top international universities accordingly.
Student services
While staying in Trier, international students enjoy comprehensive support services and diverse meetings as well as consultation on building a profile for an international career. Furthermore, there are bi-national clubs which offer intercultural programmes based on the culture of the respective home countries of the students.
Library services
Has the first semester tour been so long ago? How was it again exactly with the semester apparatus? No problem at all: Bibi & Thecus, our virtual library staff, who neither need sleep nor vacation, would be happy to take you on a filmic tour of discovery through the Bib - no matter what time.
ICT services
The ZIMK is a central facility of the University of Trier. In addition to the operation of the information technology infrastructure (e-mail, websites, servers, networks, workplaces), the portfolio also includes project support, advice, training and further education. The ZIMK ensures the secure, stable and sustainable use of IT resources and is responsible for their provision.
Campus life
Both university campuses can be reached by bus, bicycle or on foot, and all university facilities are located on campus. Lecture halls, laboratories, library, athletic facilities, student housing and other service units are all within easy reach of each other.
Campus I and Campus II are both set in a sprawling park landscape dotted with numerous works of modern art, sunning lawns, streams and ponds – the ideal setting to relax and take a break from daily university life. Landscape architects recently named the park one of 100 special places in Germany.
