The town of Munster in Westphalia obtained its university in 1771 through the initiative of the prince-bishop's vicar general, Freiherr von Fürstenberg.
The WWU increasingly offers modular courses of study leading to bachelor and masters degrees. This not only makes international exchanges easier, but also ensures high-quality teaching which can compete with the world's best.
