What is special about studying at a University of Applied Sciences?
The education at a University of Applied Sciences is practice-oriented and is to prepare the graduates for their professional career in a special way. The immediate and appropriate transfer of the knowledge acquired is at the centre. In the course of the studies academic research, social skills and languages are being dealt with besides professional know-how. To do an internship is obligatory. In most cases students are also required to study abroad at one of the partner universities for one semester. The teaching methods are state-of-the-art (teaching in small groups etc.). Its contents are geared to consider the newest findings of applied research and development.
The fact that there is a time limit imposed up to which the programme is to be completed poses a challenge for students which can be met by a high service level and individual as well as intensive coaching of the students by the teaching staff.
In brief: to study at a University of Applied Sciences means completing one’s studies in a given time (6 semesters Bachelor, 2-4 semesters Master), practice-orientation, academic research and a high level of coaching, working in small groups and obtaining language as well as soft skills.
