The University of Duisburg-Essen is a public university in North Rhine-Westphalia with campuses in Duisburg and Essen. Founded in 2003 through the merger of the former universities of Duisburg and Essen, it combines engineering, computer science, business, natural sciences, social sciences and medicine.

UDE is a two-city university: the Duisburg campus is the study location for the published Automation and Safety master, while the Essen campus hosts other faculties and services. Official campus information lists university addresses, campus maps, cafeterias, student services and a bus connection between the campuses. Students should plan daily travel around their faculty rather than assume one enclosed residential campus.

Campus dining availability and menus can vary by location and opening period. Students with religious, allergy-related or other dietary requirements should check current ingredients and service hours directly with the relevant UDE or Studierendenwerk facility, and plan for groceries and meals outside campus as part of the monthly budget.
Safety and support
UDE provides official campus addresses, maps, an international office and programme contacts for study-related questions. The university does not guarantee individual safety or accommodation outcomes.
