The Fulda University of Applied Sciences
In the middle of Germany, on the edge of the Rhine-Main conurbation, the city of Fulda with around 65,000 inhabitants is conveniently located on the north-south connections of railway and motorway lines. In a pretty baroque city, which also offers plenty of leisure opportunities, the housing market is still more relaxed than in many other cities.
The Fulda University of Applied Sciences was established in 1974 as the fifth state university of applied sciences in the State of Hesse. It had been part of the Giessen University of Applied Sciences since 1971. The forerunner institution of the Fulda University of Applied Sciences was the Pedagogical Institute, which opened in 1963 and served to train teachers in musical and technical subjects.
Despite the rapid expansion to eight departments with over 600 employees, including around 150 professors, it has now remained manageable for its 9,000 students. Fulda is the university of short distances. Students can get to know each other well here - as well as professors.
With the faculties of applied computer science, electrical engineering and information technology, food technology, ecomorphology, nursing and health, social and cultural sciences, social affairs, and economics, the Fulda University of Applied Sciences covers a wide range of subjects.
In addition to solid, societal, and ecological development, the students are trained in applied research. Numerous research and development projects are carried out jointly with East Hessian companies and other institutions. This practical relevance not only benefits the university's cooperation partners but also the quality of research and teaching.
But the Fulda University of Applied Sciences is not only anchored regionally and nationally but also internationally. Around twelve percent of the students come from abroad; from Egypt to Vietnam, from a total of over a hundred countries. All departments cooperate with partner universities worldwide.
Studying at the Fulda University of Applied Sciences means:
Many OptionsThe Fulda University of Applied Sciences, with its eight faculties, offers around 60 bachelors and master's degrees. The selection is large and ranges from technology, IT, business, and law to nutrition, health, society, and culture. In addition to traditional subjects such as business administration or electrical engineering, we also offer innovative courses such as ecomorphology, health sciences, and renewable energy. |
Applied sciences - the combination of theory and practiceThe Fulda University of Applied Sciences is a university of applied sciences. This means that studying with us does not only contain theory, but also a lot of practical relevance. This is shown, among other things, in a close relationship between the university and regional organizations and companies, e.g. about internships or theses. The Career Service of the International Office also offers international students and graduates a comprehensive range of information and advice on all aspects of internships and career entry - this makes their way to work easier. |
The dual study program - a German success storyMore practice is not possible. As a student in a dual course of study, you will attend courses at the university and work temporarily in a company. In this way, you will acquire specialist knowledge that you can apply directly, gain the necessary experience for the transition to work, and also already earn money. Some courses even include complete professional training. You will study in one discipline and learn a trade at the same time. |
State-of-the-art equipment and the latest technologyWhere could technicians, scientists, or engineers apply the knowledge they have learned better than in the typical workplaces for their work? Fortunately, the Fulda University of Applied Sciences has a large selection of so-called “laboratories” for authentic testing, real research, and repeated use. This Audio / Video Lab, Net Lab, Renewable Energy Laboratory, Natural Resources Laboratory, Microbiology Laboratory, and the Skills Laboratory simulate real working conditions and thereby help students acquire the skills for their future careers. |
International RepresentationOf the around 9,700 students at the Fulda University of Applied Sciences, around 1,400 do not come from Germany, but from over 100 different countries. The mix of languages, cultures, and perspectives not only creates an international atmosphere on campus and in the cafeteria but also enriches the courses and (student) life in the city. |
Historic city with a central locationWith around 70,000 inhabitants, Fulda is one of the smaller cities. In return, it convinces with a high quality of life, short distances, public safety, and affordable living costs. The central location and the direct connection to the train, long-distance bus, and long-distance road traffic make Fulda an ideal starting point to get to know the whole of Germany. |
