Osnabrueck is a young but very dynamic university town with numerous internationally oriented and interdisciplinary courses of study. In addition, the international bachelor's and master's degrees are offered for most courses of study.

With a total of 18,000 students at the University of Osnabrueck and the University of Applied Science Osnabrueck, the city offers a large pool of highly qualified labour and great potential for sophisticated knowledge transfer with a practical business focus.

Via their joint technology contact office, the university and the technical university pursue active technology transfer within the Osnabrueck regional economy.
