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.

ERT taught me to see recycling as a real system materials, processes, and quality. The programme gave me practical engineering thinking that I applied directly in my industry thesis on advanced aerosol recycling in the Netherlands.

Nordhausen gave me the courage to be myself.
Coming out at CSD Nordhausen 2025 and experiencing the openness of Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences has been life-changing - especially as a queer student with a migration background.
I'm proud to help build a safer, more inclusive space for future queer and international students. 🌈

What I particularly like about HSN is the special campus atmosphere. The open and personal interaction creates a strong sense of community where collaboration and exchange are a matter of course. Our beautiful, green campus also offers an inspiring environment to work in, so you simply feel at home here.

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.

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.

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 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.

What I like about Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences is the active combination of theory and practice. As a science communicator at the Transferwerk, I appreciate the freedom to develop innovative formats that show how our research is actively shaping everyday life and the future.

In the Master's programme in Computer Engineering for IoT Systems, I really enjoy the practical projects and the supportive learning environment. The lecturers are very approachable and always willing to help, which makes studying much easier as a student.

Turning old into new, engineering style! 🛠️🌱
A new lease of life for old pressure vessels! As part of the „Green Campus“ module, students on the MAB, WINTEC and RET degree programmes 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.

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?
