Spare time activities

A first, introductory overview of activities that you might find interesting for recreation in Marburg is available on the University’s website.

An overview over current events (concerts, expositions, stage performances, etc.) is, for instance, to be found in the magazine Marburger Express. It is released on a weekly basis; free, take-away copies are obtainable in many places on campus or in restaurants and bars.

The “Marburg App,” launched on Nov 5 2012, is a smartphone application that offers up-to-date information on the city of Marburg and the Philipps-Universität covering information on cultural events, service-related issues and public transportation as well as information on university-related matters (meal plans, services, contacts etc.). The App can be downloaded in the Apple App Store or in Google Playstore.

Events organized by the International Office

On a regular basis, the International Office of the Philipps-Universität offers interesting trips and excursions with the aim of introducing international students to Germany, its history, culture and people. These ‘getaways’ take place mainly during the lecture period and are either completely free of charge or very low-priced.

Tip for a special spare-time activity:
