Welcome to the Weihenstephan Campus in the north of Munich
Why Freising?
One in seven of Freising's 50,000 inhabitants is a student! This is also reflected in the wide range of cultural and sporting activities on offer in our attractive town. Its centre is only a stone's throw away from the green campus. And Munich, the „cosmopolitan city with a heart“, is not far away by train or S-Bahn.
Freising is the oldest city on the Isar and is considered the heart of Old Bavaria. With the Cathedral Hill including St. Mary's Cathedral and Weihenstephan, it has two prominent landmarks - the latter is not only home to the popular Weihenstephan Gardens, but also to the oldest brewery in the world and, of course, the campus.
Why Weihenstephan?
Admittedly: Freising is not particularly large. But Weihenstephan is Germany's largest green campus with numerous institutions of international scientific renown. For example, the university town is also home to two state institutes (Bavarian Institute of Agriculture and Bavarian Institute of Forestry), the Center of Forestry Weihenstephan and the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV.
In addition, Weihenstephan is above all the most beautiful campus imaginable: with its historic buildings surrounded by beautiful nature and gardens - and with a view of the mountains.
„You have the Isar and the lakes, the beautiful green campus with mountain views and almost always fresh fruit and vegetables in the teaching gardens. Freising is not too big, so you always meet people you know in town and on campus.“
And student life?
-
Room search
There are two options when looking for a room:
- The Munich Student Union allocates hall of residence places online and also keeps lists of privately offered rooms. Applications can be submitted to the Studierendenwerk from 15 May for the winter semester and from 15 November for the summer semester. Applications can be made online via the STW website.
- For the private flat search, we recommend flat-sharing and flat exchanges, which offer shared rooms online.
-
Food & Drink
Of course you can get something to eat on campus: there is not only a Canteen, but also various other university meeting places that offer meals, snacks and drinks. Here you can find all opening hours and menus at a glance.
- The diverse range of food on offer in the refectory kitchen is sustainable and price-conscious. On weekdays, the Canteen is open from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Payment is easy and cashless with your student ID.
- You can also pay with your student card in the two student cafés StuCafés Weihenstephan-Maximus and StuCafé Weihenstephan-Akademie, as well as in the Espressobar and the StuLounge.
- Nothing on the Canteen menu? There are many restaurants and cafés near campus where you can satisfy your hunger, thirst or caffeine addiction.
-
University sports
Students at the Weihenstephan Campus can regularly use the services of the Central University Sports Centre Munich (ZHS). On this page you will find both the current semester programme and the instructions for registering for the sports courses.
-
Student representation
If you study at HSWT, you can actively influence the conditions on campus. Once a year you elect the representatives of the student parliament, which, together with the speaker's council and the departmental student council representatives, forms the student council - you can find contact persons and contact information on this page.
Good reasons for studying at the Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences

From the library and other university services to modern media technology, show gardens, experimental farms, laboratories and facilities: We create the best conditions for a comprehensive professional and practical education.
Tangible practical experience guaranteed
We ensure practical relevance through close contact with companies and research institutions - and thus build bridges during the degree programme: for successful collaborations, good career opportunities and exceptional career paths.
Comprehensive range of topics relating to nature, people and resources
The HSWT has specialised in green engineering. The starting point for all degree programmes is the sustainable use and protection of our natural resources.
Unique sense of unity on campus
From the start of your studies to graduation - motivated teaching staff, committed students and a variety of events such as the May Festival in Weihenstephan or the Kontur Festival in Triesdorf create a special campus atmosphere. Trust, closeness and commitment characterise our sense of unity.
Regionally rooted, internationally active
Most of our students come from southern Germany. However, we also network ourselves and our students with people, companies and organisations throughout Germany, Europe and worldwide.
What else is on offer around the campus?
In Freising, you should not only explore nature, but also take advantage of the diverse urban offerings. These include, of course, our traditional inns or the picturesque beer gardens, the medieval alleys and magnificent merchants' houses or our ice rink. There is always something going on here at cultural events or festivals - and if you are looking for peace and quiet, you will find it, for example, in the Hofgarten or the perennial garden on campus.
