Deutsches Museum: UNRRA University

In February 1946, the international relief organization UNRRA opened its own university in the Deutsches Museum. The university was open to all DPs. At its peak, up to 2,000 students from 30 nations were enrolled, most of them Ukrainians. Lectures were held mainly in English. About 150 professors taught subjects such as mechanical engineering, architecture, mathematics, economics and several natural science courses. The university only existed for one year until May 1947, as UNRRA then discontinued its work.
