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.

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.

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 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.

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.

As a student, I particularly appreciated the practical approach to teaching and the personal dialogue at eye level with the professors - you were always supported and taken seriously. At the same time, the green campus with its pond, bees and squirrels offers a really pleasant learning atmosphere.
Today - as a research assistant in the „QUANT-GPICz“ project and hike - I particularly enjoy the open, friendly team spirit and the short distances across the campus, which make everyday working life uncomplicated. I deal with new topics every day and learn a lot of new things.

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.

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.

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. 🌈

💧 How is water treated? How can materials be used more effectively? And how can waste materials be turned back into valuable raw materials?
Our new professor, Dr Jenny Jordan, is looking into questions like these. 👋
She is taking up the Chair of Process Engineering and Environmental Engineering at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences, bringing a wealth of experience from both research and industry to the campus.
The topics covered are quite varied: from particle technology and powder metallurgy, through ceramics and plastics, to water treatment and filtration. Underlying all of this is the question of how technical processes can be made more efficient and more resource-friendly. 🌱⚙️
It is precisely this connection that she wishes to convey to our students:
💬 „I want to show students just how closely process engineering knowledge and environmental protection are linked – and that, in industrial practice, the two have long gone hand in hand.“
We are looking forward to exciting courses, new research questions and plenty of practical insights.
A very warm welcome to HSN, Professor Jordan! 💙💚

🔧 New to Mechanical Engineering: Welcome, Professor Hohmann! 👋
Dr Florian Hohmann, Dr.-Ing., is the new Professor of Mechanical Engineering/Design at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences.
And he brings a wealth of practical experience with him to the campus: before joining us, he worked as a development engineer at Volkswagen in Wolfsburg – working on driver assistance systems, amongst other things.
In Nordhausen, he wants to demonstrate what modern mechanical engineering can look like today: How can products be designed to be durable and easy to repair or reuse? And how can sensor technology help to make technical systems smarter and more resource-efficient? 🌱⚙️
It is precisely these kinds of questions that are to be incorporated into teaching in future – ideally in collaboration with partners from industry and business, and based on real-world problems.
💬 „Sustainable systems development is not an afterthought; to me, it is at the very heart of modern engineering.“
We look forward to new ideas, projects and, of course, spending time together on our campus.
A very warm welcome to HSN, Professor Hohmann! 💙💚

An employer brand isn’t just something that exists on paper.
It stems from the question of what an organisation stands for, what makes it special, and how it communicates this identity both internally and externally.
Over the past few months, the ProfX team has been working closely with an external agency to examine Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences’ employer brand: What sets Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences apart as an employer? What do we stand for? And how can we make this even more visible in future?
Now is the time to share some initial insights.
Over the next few days, we’ll be unveiling a new look for our employer brand.
And until then, here’s just a little taster for today. 😊
The employer brand was developed as part of the ‘FH-Personal’ project, which was funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) and the GWK.

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.

Where on earth have all these cars ended up? 🚗
What is now solely a footpath was actually still a car park in the late 1990s. Today, the car park is right next to it – the path now belongs to pedestrians. 🚶♀️🚶♂️
At first glance, the AKI – the August Kramer Institute – in the background doesn’t look as though, a few years later, it would be home to state-of-the-art technology in the fields of energy systems, materials and process engineering, and geoengineering. 😉
Did you wonder about the cars on the pavement, or did you spot straight away where the photo was taken? 😊
