Fachhochschule Dortmund - University of Applied Sciences and Arts: future-oriented with more than a 100 year old history

It was officially founded in 1971 but the original institute, the “Königliche Werkmeisterschule für Maschinenbauer”, was established in 1890. Nevertheless, the fundamental concept has remained unchanged throughout the years: study and teaching geared towards practical problem-solving, taught by highly experienced professors, cementing the link between theory and practice. True to this philosophy, the university offers over 80 study options, in seven different faculties: applied social sciences, architecture, design, computer sciences, economics, engineering, information technology and electrical engineering. More than 14,500 students are currently enrolled at Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts. The world is changing - and so does a modern university
