英文导读

The University of Regensburg (German: Universit.t Regensburg) is a public research university located in the medieval city of Regensburg, Bavaria, a city that is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The university was founded on July 18, 1962 by the Landtag of Bavaria as the fourth full-fledged university in Bavaria. Attempts to establish a university in Regensburg had been advocated since the late 15th century. In 1487, Duke Albrecht IV of Bavaria and the Regensburg city council sent a petition to Pope Innocent VIII to establish a university within the city. The idea was rejected, failing for economic reasons. In 1562, Croatian Protestant reformer Matthias Flacius again advocated the creation of a university in the city, arguing that a university in Regensburg would spread the ideas of the Protestant Reformation to Slavic lands. Protestant intellectuals again tried to establish a university in 1633, though their attempts were blocked by the arrival of imperial troops from orders of Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II. Following the end of the Second World War, a group of concerned intellectuals and academics in Eastern Bavaria established the Association of the Friends of the University in 1948, advocating the creation of a university for Regensburg and the Upper Palatinate region. The association"s advocacy proved successful in 1962 when the Bavarian Landtag authorized the creation of the university.The university is traditionally considered rather conservative compared to other German universities. Its most famous academic, the previous Pope Benedict XVI, served as a professor there until 1977 and formally retains his chair in theology.

System: The university is structured into twelve faculties: Faculty of Catholic Theology; Faculty of Law; Faculty of Business, Economics and Management Information Systems; Faculty of Medicine; Faculty of Philosophy, Fine Arts, History and Humanities; Faculty of Psychology, Educational Science and Sports Science; Faculty of Languages, Literature and Cultural Studies; Faculty of Mathematics; Faculty of Physics; Faculty of Biology and Pre-Clinical Medicine; Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy.

City show: Regensburg is a city in Bavaria, Germany, located at the confluence of the Danube and Regen rivers, at one of the northernmost points of the Danube. Its main sights include The Cathedral(an example of pure German Gothic and counts as the main work of Gothic architecture in Bavaria); the Stone Bridge (built 1135–1146, a highlight of medieval bridge building); etc.
