With over 200 partner enterprises, students are guaranteed praxis-oriented courses and excellent career opportunities – many students find their first job before completing their studies.

Top position in rankings

For years, the largest nationwide surveys and rankings have given the FHDW top marks. In 2023, it was once again named "Germany's most popular university with less than 5,000 students" by the nationwide portal StudyCheck.de. 

Prospect: Scientific and senior management positions

Practical and project phases are integrated in all Bachelor and Master programmes. Students apply their theoretical knowledge in practice and devise high-quality solutions on their own initiative, thus developing the necessary competences for scientific and senior management positions and becoming acquainted with current research.

Bachelor degree includes 210 credit points

FHDW courses are internationally oriented: Visiting professors from foreign higher education partner institutions and lectures in English promote the development of the intercultural competences that are so essential for success on the international employment market. Quality and aspiration are high priorities at the FHDW - the Bachelor degree includes 210 instead of the common 180 credit points with a maximum duration of study – 3.5 years.. No surprise the university gets top grades in different rankings and surveys every year: Especially fields such as the situation of study, the range of programmes to study, the support of the students or the combination of theory and practice enjoy a great reputation.

Various company scholarships

The excellent reputation of the FHDW is complemented by an increasing number of enterprises offering scholarships for the students. Grant-awarding companies such as HDI, Höft & Wessel or the VGH assume responsibility for all tuition fees, pay a monthly allowance and offer attractive long-term career prospects.
