Welcome to the Esslingen University of Applied Sciences
|
Thank you for visiting the Hochschule Esslingen - University of Applied Sciences. |
You are now on the webpages of the Esslingen University of Applied Sciences. The German word for "university of applied sciences" is "Fachhochschule". The title of our university is Hochschule Esslingen.
Universities of applied sciences represent a relatively recent but highly successful development in Germany's higher education. They focus on a more practically oriented method of education with individualized teaching in small groups and a highly structured curriculum. Research is also conducted at these institutions, although it is more directed towards practical requirements.
The rising popularity of these institutions is reflected in the fact that today about 60 % of all engineers and business administration graduates come from universities of applied sciences.
Another vital feature of the Fachhochschulen is their emphasis on offering various services to the respective region. Their intensive connections to regional industry and public administrations help students to become familiar witht he requirements of the working world.
