Aachen University of Applied Sciences
With more than 15,000 students, almost 2000 graduates every year, 10 departments, around 100 courses of study, twelve internal and five affiliated institutes and four competence platforms, the FH Aachen with its two locations in Aachen and Jülich is one of the largest and most important universities of applied sciences in Germany. Around 240 professors and around 900 employees work here in teaching, research and administration.
The FH Aachen offers its students a degree that prepares them excellently for work in modern and future-oriented professions. In addition to the classic MINT subjects such as mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology, the range of courses offered by the university also includes the areas of economics and design. The approximately 100 bachelor's and master's courses offer not only full-time study but also an increasing selection of market-oriented dual courses.
The university focuses on modern teaching that is based on the latest didactic findings and uses current methods such as e-learning. The students are offered close personal support, which enables an intensive exchange of experience and knowledge with the lecturers. The inclusion of current results from research and development optimally prepares the students for professional activities after their studies.
The FH Aachen strives to be one of the strongest research universities in Germany. The competencies are primarily in the future fields of energy, mobility and life sciences as well as digitization and industrial production. Current research results flow directly into teaching.
Through close cooperation with regional companies, the university and industry jointly develop products and methods that create added value locally. The FH Aachen trains young men and women who take on responsibility in the companies in the region and who contribute to the development of the regional economy with their research-related specialist and methodological knowledge.
The expansion of regional, national and international networking in teaching and research is an essential part of the future plans of the FH Aachen, especially with regard to the Euregional location of the Aachen and Jülich locations in the immediate vicinity of Belgium and the Netherlands. Another decisive step is the offer of international courses. The language of instruction here is English, which is intended to attract more international students. In this context, the cooperation with numerous and important foreign partner universities of the FH Aachen is particularly attractive.
The Freshman Institute at the FH Aachen prepares students from all over the world for further studies in Germany. Through intensive teaching of language and content-related skills, the students are able to seamlessly transition to a bachelor's degree in North Rhine-Westphalia.
