The Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt

About the organization

The Katholische Universität Eichstätt-Ingolstadt is a Roman Catholic research university in Eichstätt and Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany. Compared to other German universities (e.g. University of Heidelberg) it is a rather small institution (with 5,300 students in summer 2016); nevertheless, it is the largest private university in Germany. The university has the main campus in Eichstätt (the buildings being within walking distance from the town center) and another one (the Faculty of Economics) in Ingolstadt, site of the first Bavarian university in 1472.
