The nearest international airports are in Leipzig, Berlin and Hanover. From there, and from every other German airport, you can easily travel to Magdeburg by train or bus.

Travelling to the university by tram from the railway station
From the central bus station and the main railway station you can take the tram to the university. The “Hauptbahnhof” tram stop is situated right in front of the main railway station building. From here you can take the tram to the main campus, "Universitätsplatz" or the medical faculty "Universitätsklinikum" where most of the courses will take place.
