University Types

The Hochschulen für angewandte
Wissenschaften (universities of applied
sciences) provide a more practice-oriented
course in contrast to the more science-
oriented approach of the universities. They
qualify specifically for occupations in the
fields of commerce, technology, media and
social work. Their programmes cover
engineering, business administration, social
work, computer science, information
science for business and a range of degree
programmes in innovative sectors such as
new technologies, life sciences, media and
design. All these degree programmes
include a work-placement semester.
Universities of applied sciences also play a
major role in continuing vocational training,
offering postgraduate degree courses and
advanced training courses. For a list of links
to the universities of applied sciences, see:
