The Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences offers its students a university education that prepares them for work in companies, social and charitable organisations and the public sector in a practical and targeted manner.
Small seminar groups support practice-orientated learning.
Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences offers several engineering degree programmes with excellent career prospects.
Numerous contacts and collaborations with industry as well as research projects carried out on behalf of industry and business make the degree programmes particularly practice-oriented.

As an international student, I truly value studying Renewable Energy Systems at Hochschule Nordhausen for its application-oriented curriculum and its welcoming, multicultural academic environment. The combination of practical learning and cultural diversity makes the experience both professionally enriching and personally meaningful.

What I particularly like about Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences is how lively and diverse the interaction is. In university health management, we organise offers such as exercise sessions, nutrition workshops, bike checks and back health days. Being involved in student committees such as the student council, student council or faculty council also gives you the opportunity to actively shape your studies, make valuable contacts and develop important skills. This makes studying here an active, participative and personally enriching experience.

The Master's degree programme in Industrial Engineering and Management at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences is super flexible and really fun.

As a student, I particularly appreciated the practical approach to teaching and the personal dialogue at eye level with the professors - you were always supported and taken seriously. At the same time, the green campus with its pond, bees and squirrels offers a really pleasant learning atmosphere.
Today - as a research assistant in the „QUANT-GPICz“ project and hike - I particularly enjoy the open, friendly team spirit and the short distances across the campus, which make everyday working life uncomplicated. I deal with new topics every day and learn a lot of new things.

University social work needs your voice. ✍️
Since 2021, the @hochschulsozialarbeit.ndh (HSA) at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences has supported over 1,100 students facing difficult circumstances – whether due to mental health issues, financial worries or personal crises. Confidential, unbureaucratic, there for everyone.
The funding will come to an end at the end of the year.
Without further funding, this scheme is in danger of being scrapped.
There is now an official petition before the Thuringian State Parliament.
Even just one signature helps.

Students are under enormous pressure: rising costs, the pressure to perform, loneliness and mental strain are often part of everyday student life.
This is where @hochschulsozialarbeit.ndh comes in: it offers confidential counselling, provides support during crises and paves the way for students to successfully complete their studies. But this vital project is at risk of coming to an end in late 2026!
If we want education to remain fair, we must not cut back here – because behind every degree course there is a person.

400 freshers’ goody bags to get your studies off to a flying start! 🎓🎉
Yesterday, everyone was busy packing for the start of the academic year in the Audimax: under the planning and coordination of Nadine Kathrin Luschnat from the University Communications and Marketing Department, current students worked together to prepare this year’s freshers’ packs.
The 400 bags are packed with all sorts of handy items for everyday student life: stationery, notepads, snacks, vouchers and little extras to help you get started. 📝🍫🎁
As well as practical items, the bags also contain information and offers relating to life on and off campus – including from the Karzer students’ club, the Techniker Krankenkasse health insurance scheme, the Studierendenwerk and other partners.
The freshers’ pack is more than just a collection of materials: it’s designed to make settling into university, campus life and the city just that little bit easier, and to show our new students: We’re so glad you’re here! 🫶
A big thank you to everyone who contributed to the content or helped with the packing! 💪
There are now 400 ready-packed bags waiting for their new owners. ✨
We look forward to seeing you and wish you all the best as you begin your studies! 💙
