With around 17,000 students Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) is a medium-sized university. It is divided up into five faculties which are all located on one campus. The oldest one and core of the university is the Faculty of Medicine, followed by the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences and the Faculty of Arts and Humanities – these three are the largest. In the late 1980s and early 1990s the Faculty of Business and Economics and the Faculty of Law were then launched.

One of the foci at HHU today, linking all faculties, are the Life Sciences. Thanks to our “campus of short distances”, cross-departmental, joint study programmes (such as Business Chemistry) are one of our major strengths. In addition we can boast excellent research and dedicated teaching in all faculties – as numerous evaluations have shown.
