| Name | Witten |
| General information | One can quickly feel at home in this relatively small town with its 100,000 inhabitants. Witten is located in the middle of the Ruhr area, near Herne and Bochum. The town's character is strongly influenced by the open-cast mining of the last century. The first mining activity was recorded as far back as the 16th century. Nowadays, new industries are important to Witten's economy, including the university and its research centre. Witten was first mentioned in a document in the 13th century. Whoever decides to visit Witten can enjoy the friendly mentality of the Ruhr people, collect valuable professional experience as well as having fun in this sociable town. |
| Studying conditions | The dental faculty of the Witten-Herdecke university has 3 basic principles: the academic teaching staff works in co-operation with those involved in the medical, social science and basic study faculties. In addition to this, medical staff, interdisciplinary research groups, laboratory technicians and the university dental clinic work well together. Dental students can, therefore, enjoy a successful mixture of these principles in their lectures. |
