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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

What I particularly appreciate about our university is the creative freedom I have as a professor. Another important, positive aspect is the good collegial cooperation, especially in my degree programme team, but also in the entire WISO department. This is not a matter of course at universities.

I particularly appreciate my university because of the very experienced lecturers who not only know their subject, but also teach it in a practical and committed way. The university also offers a supportive learning environment in which you are well supported both professionally and personally.

I really enjoy my master's programme in Renewable Energy Systems because it is highly field-specific, practical, and future-oriented. Nordhausen University offers a modern learning environment that perfectly matches current and future market demands.

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!

🥗 Let’s try things out together, enjoy ourselves and get some fresh inspiration! 💚
Last week it was time to get the bowls and pots out again! 👩🍳🥣
Our third nutrition workshop for staff and students at HSN focused entirely on the following topic:
✨ „Anti-stress nutrition & mood-boosting food“ ✨
Divided into two groups – one in the morning and one in the afternoon – the participants cooked together, tasted the food and discussed how healthy eating can be easily incorporated into their stressful daily lives as students and professionals.
With delicious recipes, lots of practical tips and a relaxed atmosphere, it was clear that healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated – and, above all, it can be fun! 😊
👉If you’re interested, you can already sign up for the next workshop via Moodle:
📅 26 November 2026 |🌱 Topic: „The Immune System & the Gut – Nutrition (as requested)“
▶ The nutrition workshops are run in partnership with @die_techniker and organised as part of our university’s health management programme.
The workshops will be led by Susan Türpe, a qualified ecotrophologist (FH) from @projecdo_gmbh. 👍
We’re looking forward to our next session together! 🙌

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!
• 📢 Share this post, talk about it and raise awareness of the issue amongst decision-makers.

What sort of building can you see there? 🏢
The university’s old logo – back when it was still known as Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences – can no longer be found on any of the buildings on campus. And the blue-framed windows are also a thing of the past on our campus. 🕰️
Looking around the neighbourhood, there’s really only one building that fits the bill: that’s right, House 19! ✅
The photo shows the building before its extensive refurbishment, which was completed in 2022. As part of this, it was not only modernised on the outside, but also made more energy-efficient. 🏗️
Thanks to its new technical facilities, the building now offers ideal conditions for online, face-to-face and blended learning, and thus provides the best possible environment for lecturers and students.
The main lecture theatre building houses two lecture theatres, seminar rooms, computer labs and language labs. In front of the lecture theatres and downstairs in the foyer, seating areas invite students to chat and relax.
Do you enjoy spending time at Haus 19?
