University of Applied Sciences Nordhausen

The University of Applied Sciences Nordhausen is the most recently created university in the region of Thuringia, in the centre of Germany. It was created in 1997 and the first students began their courses on October 1998. Until today seven study programs have been implemented including three engineering study programs: Brownfield and Materials Recycling, Computer Engineering and Renewable Energy Engineering.

With about 1000 students the University of Applied Sciences Nordhausen is quite a small university. This leads to limited numbers of students per study program und ensures that each student benefits from teaching methods which address his or her individual requirements. Beside this attractive study conditions are ensured by a systematic modular study structure combined with the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) and obligatory language instructions.
