applied sciences offer an intentional
alternative to the highly theoretical
programmes of many traditional
universities. This doesn’t mean that
theoretical perspectives are given short
shrift. Rather, they have the benefit of
being systematically integrated with
practical issues, which also makes a
masters degree from a university of
applied sciences very attractive to
companies and business. Of course, a
masters degree programme also opens
the door to a doctorate.
, A network of partner universities
on nearly all continents not only
permits students to spend a study
semester or practical training semester
abroad, but also provides the possiblity
of an additional degree from another
European university. In this way,
universities of applied sciences ensure
their students’ competitiveness in the
international job market and support
their intercultural competence.

fications which are growing in
importance: making complicated decisions
under deadline pressure, communicating
with business and project
partners, organising and leading team
problem-solving, and much more.
The clear structure and practical
approach of the university of applied
sciences, as well as its “familiar atmosphere”
ensure that the students are often
more satisfied with their courses of study
than students at other universities. The
drop-out rate is meaningfully lower as
well. The internationally approved six-
and seven-semester bachelor degree
programmes offer, in a relatively short
time, a university degree with professional
qualification. In most sectors today
the graduates of both types of university
can also expect the same levels of
compensation.
