The University of Bayreuth is among the first universities in Germany to implement the new policy of the German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB) against sexual harassment and violence in sports. The Bayreuth Center of Sport Science (BaySpo) has developed its own measures, which were presented to the public recently.

The University of Bayreuth’s strategic focus on internationalization is paying off: in the 2025/26 winter semester, around one in five students will come from abroad. The semester will be marked by ongoing events celebrating the University’s 50th anniversary. ‘The past summer semester and the winter semester that has just begun are completely dominated by our anniversary,’ says University President Prof. Dr Dr h.c. Stefan Leible.

In the latest Times Higher Education World University Rankings (THE WUR), the University of Bayreuth is placed in the global group 301–350, once again demonstrating its strong performance. Particularly noteworthy is its research environment, where it ranks 248th out of 2,191 evaluated universities worldwide. The WUR also highlights the high quality of Bayreuth’s researchers, their productivity, and their strong connections to industry and society.
