Highlights of a University of Applied Sciences

You might wonder what it means to be studying at a German university of applied sciences.

The universities of applied sciences are a vital part of the German higher education system. Around 40% of all students are enrolled at a university of applied sciences and the system keeps gaining popularity outside of Germany. With a position right at the transfer point of science and business, students get the best of both worlds combined. The students not only learn about latest scientific findings, but also about how they can be applied to business.

Learning in universities of applied sciences takes place in relatively small groups, hence in a personal atmosphere and with a high teacher-student-ratio. The professors are required to have at least five years of practical experience in their field of teaching so that practical orientation and relevance of the content is guaranteed.

Another specialty of universities of applied sciences is that they maintain strong bonds with regional or international companies. They cooperate on projects, letting the students get highly relevant insights about business from early on. This way, useful connections can be made, and students get the chance to build a network early in their career. For the students, all of this leads to an easy entry into the professional work life and can open various job opportunities.
