Study Orientation

There are thousands of reasons to choose Mittweida University of Applied Sciences. But in the end, only one thing matters: You.

At Mittweida University of Applied Sciences, you become part of a lifelong community – not just part of a classroom. Enthusiasm and energy characterise our campus. Faculty and students work together closely and support one another.

Practical relevance has been the focus of our education since 1865: At Mittweida University of Applied Sciences, you will grasp theory by applying it directly in practical and research projects. This way, you learn more quickly and efficiently, and that will truly advance you in your career.

For a smooth student experience, you get individual support in Mittweida. We provide support with arriving and getting settled in Mittweida, offer preparatory courses, and can even help find child care for you during your studies. We will help you in every situation.

Your time at university is about more than just acquiring knowledge. You will remember this time for the rest of your life. That‘s one more reason to pay attention to both the contents of the programme and the living conditions in the city.

Mittweida is cozier than other university cities. The campus is reminiscent of a small college town somewhere in the Midwest of the United States. Here you can reach everything on foot. While in Munich, Berlin or Hamburg you have to wait for the bus and subway every day, only to sit in it for hours, in Mittweida you can sleep in and have a relaxed breakfast before class.

Studying in Mittweida is more comfortable, more relaxed and more focussed – one of the reasons being that it is affordable. In Munich you have to budget 600 Euro for monthly rent, in Hamburg, Cologne and Berlin over 400 – in Mittweida you can find your room for around 200 Euro. You can spend the money you save on rent on other things or avoid needing a part-time job that might only distract you from your classes.

Don't worry: Your college years are more than just a time to learn. You not only build the foundation for your future and develop your personality, you also make friends for life. In addition to the student club, which has been loved by every generation of students for nice music, good conversation and tasty drinks, there are two festivals on the university campus: House on the Hill and Campusfestival Mittweida. Furthermore, there are numerous private parties as well as our Cosmopolitan Club, a community for German and foreign students that connects fellow students from all nations.

Not in the mood to party? We also have official Esports teams, many sports and fitness classes through our athletic department, a university theater and musical group, a student community, a cinema, an outdoor pool and much more.

„Drop by and see for yourself“ is the best advice that can be given. Mittweida is different from other universities – uncomplicated, familiar and relaxed. You can see for yourself that this is true at our open house, also called Studieninformationstag. Here you have the opportunity to talk to lecturers and current students, ask all your questions and take a closer look at the campus.

Our open house is not only available on campus twice a year, but also online from the comfort of your own home. On our YouTube channel you can always find our latest livestream and many other interesting videos about the university.
