University Munich (German: Universität der Bundeswehr München, UniBw
München) is one of only two federal universities in Germany that both
were founded in 1973 as part of the German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr).
Originally called Hochschule der Bundeswehr München the institution was
supposed to offer civilian academic education for military officers.
Today, the university has an increasing number of civilian and
international students. The academic year at the university is
structured in trimesters and not the usual semesters, to offer intensive
studies with more credit points per year. Very capable students can
therefore achieve a Bachelor's and a Master's degree within less than
four years, while this would usually require five years. Universität der
Bundeswehr München has well-established scientific research and forms
part of two excellence clusters of the German government's university
excellence initiative.
