DAAD Branch Office in London - German Academic Exchange Service

Last weekend, the DAAD London office was delighted to welcome the next cohort of Young Ambassadors for 2026/27 to London for a 3 day visit. The trip included a workshop on the work of the DAAD in the UK/Ireland and internationally, as well as presentations from previous Young Ambassadors Natalie Woodhead and Joseph Cogan, who delivered excellent talks on their events in 2025/26, as well as practical tips and advice on how to carry out engaging activities at their universities. After a very successful first year of the programme, with over 35 events ranging from author readings to German film nights and Christmas market trips, we couldn't be happier to continue such a fantastic initiative. We wish every success to both our current and former Young Ambassadors, and thank them for their hardwork and passion in promoting study in Germany. Here's to even more successful events in 2026/27! 👏

Study in Germany – discover Magdeburg! Magdeburg is the green capital of Saxony-Anhalt. The magnificent Magdeburg Cathedral towers over the city on the Elbe River, 170 km west of Berlin. Magdeburg is attractive to many students, and not only because of its familiar atmosphere and affordable rental prices. Magdeburg is home to two higher education institutions and numerous research institutes. The economy is significantly dominated by the service-providing sector. It also benefits from its proximity to the large business centres of Berlin and Leipzig. One of Magdeburg’s impressive landmarks is the “Green Citadel of Magdeburg”. You can’t help but notice the pink-coloured building with its unusual architectural details – golden orbs, crooked walls and large archways. The Green Citadel was designed by the Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. Two brightly designed courtyards are located within. The name of this extraordinary building refers to the rooftop which is covered with grass. Have you been to Magdeburg before? Let us know in the comments. #studyingermany
