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.

I particularly like the fact that the lecturers are open to questions and feedback. Most of them are happy to help with problems on request. I also like working together with my fellow students. The Karzer also offers a good opportunity to spend time together in your free time.

At Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences, I particularly appreciate the openness to new ideas and the close dialogue between people from very different areas. In my work at the Transferwerk and at DICH, I experience every day how innovation arises from dialogue, research and practice. This makes my work here exciting and meaningful every day.

The colleagues here are super nice. We know and appreciate each other and each other's work. Despite the large number of employees at the university, I work in a manageable team. I already know some of my colleagues from my studies.

Studying ERT at Hochschule Nordhausen gave me the opportunity to combine engineering with sustainability. The practical approach, international atmosphere, and supportive professors helped me develop valuable skills and confidence for my future career in Recycling Technologies.

What's really cool is that we are a small HS. This means we have to be specialists in many areas and familiarise ourselves with a lot of new areas. This is challenging and varied. The diversity is not only reflected in the interculturality but also in the activities.

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.

🎓Theory meets practice: Working together for the next generation of administrative professionals in the region!
Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences and the Nordhausen District Office are set to work even more closely together in future on practice-oriented degree programmes in the field of public management. 🤝
On 5 October, our university president, Prof. Dr Jörg Wagner, and District Administrator Matthias Jendricke signed a cooperation agreement regarding the Bachelor’s degree programme in Public Business Administration/Public Management (B.A.).
What does this mean for students? 👇
🏫 Studying at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences
🏢 Practice at the Nordhausen District Office from the very start
💼 Contractual obligation to the district administration
💰 Remuneration whilst still studying
📚 A total of twelve months’ practical training – directly at the district office
And: The first two graduates have already successfully completed their degrees! 🎉 Eight more young professionals are currently still studying.
Particularly pleasing: one of the graduates is staying closely connected to Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences and is now starting the Master’s programme in Public Management & Governance. 🎓
Would you like to kick-start your career in public administration in 2027? Applications are now open for the practice-oriented degree programme at the Nordhausen District Office. 🚀
👉 You can find more information about applying on the District Office’s website at www.landkreis-nordhausen.de/ausbildung.
👉 Information on the degree programmes is available at www.hs-nordhausen.de.

Are you involved in designing digital teaching and keen to consider inclusion right from the start? 💻🎓
This raises a key question: when does digitalisation act as a bridge, and when does it create new barriers?
Digital technologies open up new opportunities for participation and inclusive higher education. At the same time, they can exacerbate existing disadvantages or create new forms of exclusion.
It is precisely this area of tension that the „Digitalising Teaching Intersectionally“ fellowship project at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences addresses.
The project developed innovative teaching formats that not only address digital inclusion and exclusion in theoretical terms, but also enable students to experience them first-hand and reflect on them critically. These include a hybrid workshop, a digital disability obstacle course and an e-learning course in which people with disabilities themselves contribute their perspectives and experiences.
This shows that digital innovation is not automatically inclusive. Accessibility, participation and different life circumstances must be taken into account right from the start.
The new post on our Science Blog demonstrates how theory, self-awareness and participation can be combined in university teaching, and highlights the limitations of experience-based formats.
Funding information: This project was funded by the Stifterverband and the Thuringian Ministry of Education, Science and Culture (formerly the Thuringian Ministry of Economic Affairs, Science and the Digital Society).

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.
Take action now:
• ✍️ Sign the petition „Save University Social Work“ [https://weact.campact.de/petitions/rettung-der-hochschulsozialarbeit-hsa-der-hs-nordhausen] to support continued funding!

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! 💙
