December 6, 2025 (red) Philipps University of Marburg lists 21,162 students on its website for the 2024/25 winter semester. These are first-time enrollments, including those on leave of absence and those attending preparatory colleges, the university explains. The proportion of women is quite high, at 58.2 percent, which amounts to a total of 12,325 female students at the University of Marburg.

The following figures were also taken from the Philipps University website on December 6, 2025.

According to these figures, there are (were) 8,780 men at the University of Marburg, which represents 41.5 percent of the student body. There are 29 students listed as “diverse” in terms of gender. Finally, there are 28 students who did not specify their gender.

A total of 4,652 foreign students studied in Marburg in the winter semester 2024/25. This represents 22 percent, meaning that more than a fifth of the students in Marburg come from other countries. The Philipps University website does not break this down further, for example by EU countries, China, India, or the USA, to name the three most populous countries (states).

The overview lists 2,825 graduates in the 2024 examination year. And there were 408 (presumably equally successful) doctorates in the 2024 examination year, according to the overview.

If these figures in das Marburger., taken from the Marburg University website, seem a little too low or too simplistic, we recommend reading an extensive article on Tom-Oliver Regenauer’s regenauer.blog.
But be warned, there is a lot to read there, with the headline Spekulationsobjekt Leben (“Life as an object of speculation”).
