Leisure time

Explore Dessau

Expanding horizons in the international cinema, playing canoe polo, and of course, partying - that’s how students in Dessau relax. Enriching your mind can be as wonderful and as much fun as dancing and going to parties. So, what do students do in their free time?

Sure, there are also commuters who live in Berlin, Leipzig, or Halle, and who travel to university. But why spend your valuable time on the road or in train stations when you can help shape a city instead? That is exactly what it means to “study in Dessau”: Designing the campus and city according to your wishes.
