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 like about the degree programme is the interactivity in the lectures, especially from the 3rd semester onwards. I also like the way the lecturers teach the content and try to show you practical things so that you can take something away with you after your studies.

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.

    How do families whose adult children have a disability live and what challenges, but also resources, characterise their everyday lives? two qualitative studies at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences provide insights into the realities of life that often remain hidden. They show how parents and relatives organise their lives, what support they experience - and what gaps in research still exist. Introduction, background and [...]
  • Heat transition in Thuringia - economic and ecological evaluation of refurbishment measures
    by Hinderrike Johanna Hauer-Berghuis Do you live in an old detached house, would you like to renovate it and don't know where to start? Our research project answers precisely such questions. Energy-efficient refurbishment measures for all types of existing buildings are evaluated both economically and ecologically. The results show which measures can both save money and minimise [...]
