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.

What I like most about Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences is that both the lecturers and the students are friendly, humorous and open-minded - you don't feel like „just another number“ here, but really seen. I also really enjoy my studies overall, and I've met a few of my closest friends along the way.

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.

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.

What I love most about Nordhausen University is the incredibly peaceful environment and the high quality of our experienced, professional faculty. Beyond the classroom, the ‚International Get-together‘ events have been a highlight for me, offering a wonderful way to learn about other cultures, while the university mess provides excellent service that makes campus life even better.

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.

I like the family environment at the university. Professors and lecturers know you by name and even the canteen staff know what my favourite side dish is on schnitzel day. My degree programme (Health and Social Work, 5th semester) offers me a huge range of future employment opportunities. I can gain a foothold in almost any social organisation later on. But the healthcare sector also has a number of opportunities in store for me. I think hardly any other degree programme is so universal.

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.

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.

🤝 Last Wednesday, we had a visit from our Turkish partner university @ksu.edu.tr 🎓
A year ago, we signed an Erasmus+ agreement with our partner university due to the high level of academic compatibility between our two departments.
During this visit, Prof. Dr Jörg Wagner, Frank Einicke, Prof. Dr Michael Rutz, @hike.startups and @hsn_international were able to show Prof. Dr Özdeş Çermik the study, learning and teaching facilities at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences. 🏫
The meeting also explored opportunities to strengthen future collaboration: in particular, options that could be implemented swiftly were identified for the English-taught Master’s programmes in engineering and for guest lectures in the field of engineering as part of the International Project Week. ⚙️🌍

Creativity brings people together. Diversity makes our community visible.
Four afternoons, lots of creative ideas and even more enriching encounters: at Art together – Diversity Edition, students, university staff and members of the local community came together to explore themes such as identity, belonging and diversity through art.
The result was not only collages, paintings and collaborative works – but also new perspectives, inspiring conversations and valuable encounters.
The pictures show some highlights from this special series of workshops.
Many thanks to all the participants and organisers who brought this creative space to life! Events like this show how universities can create spaces where a sense of community flourishes and diversity can be experienced first-hand.

🎉 Happy 25th work anniversary!
Last week, we had the pleasure of honouring two special service anniversaries: Roberto Auer and Sandra Thomas were presented with certificates from the Free State of Thuringia to mark their 25 years of service in the public sector. 👏
Our university president, Prof. Dr Jörg Wagner, presented the awards in person and expressed his gratitude for their long-standing loyalty, their great dedication and their valuable work for our university. 💙
👉 Since 2001, Roberto Auer has been supporting the further development of research, collaboration and knowledge transfer within the Department of Research and Science Outreach.
👉 Sandra Thomas has been part of the university for 25 years and, as the President’s secretary in the Executive Board, uses her considerable organisational skills to ensure that day-to-day university operations run smoothly.
We’d like to say: Happy anniversary, and we look forward to many more years together! 🎓😊

Turning OLD into NEW, engineer-style! 🛠️🌱
A new lease of life for old pressure vessels! As part of the „Green Campus“ module, students on the MAB, WINTEC and RET courses have built a sustainable seating area from two disused pressure vessels from the AKI.
Scrap metal has been transformed into a new meeting place on campus: two benches and a lounging area are now ready for you to relax, socialise and work!
The path to the project:
🛠️ MAB: Cutting open the boiler & welding in a metal frame
🪵 WINTEC: Construction of the timber structure
🎨 RET: Long-lasting corrosion protection & glaze
Despite shortages of materials and tight deadlines, the result is clear: genuine upcycling for our university! 🌍
📍 Location: You can currently try out the seating area right in front of the AKI before the SG Bau decides on its final location.
Do pop round and make yourselves at home!
