The main campus in the south of the city is home to seminar buildings, lecture halls, offices, laboratories and more. Short distances connect the administration, the central contact points and all five faculties of Paderborn University. Relax and linger in the abundant green outdoor spaces here.

In addition, various branches of our university offer space for research, teaching and innovation. The Zukunftsmeilen 1 and 2 are hubs for networking between Paderborn University and regional companies. Our scientists also conduct research in the adjacent Fuerstenallee, which is home to the Heinz Nixdorf Institute, among others.

About one kilometre south of the campus, the Paderborn Technology Park hosts individual branches of our faculties. The Start-up Campus OWL on the former site of the Barker Barracks is the new home for the members of Paderborn University's Technology Transfer and Start-up Centre (TecUP). In the very heart of Paderborn, our General Students' Committee (AStA) has created the AStA Stadtcampus, a place for education, culture, commitment, and togetherness.

As a joint institution of Paderborn University and the Detmold University of Music, the Musicology Seminar (MuWi) is dedicated to the study and research of music and music culture. The MuWi and the large music library are located in the Detmold FORUM Science | Library | Music, about 30 kilometres away.

In order to overcome the challenges of the present and to collectively shape the future, Paderborn University is committed to cooperating with its academic and industrial partners. We are members of numerous networks and alliances on a regional, national, and international level. Learn more about our diverse cooperations.
