Around 250 professors and approximately 900 employees work here in teaching, research, and administration.
The FH Aachen offers its students a first-rate course of study that superbly prepares them for jobs in modern and trendsetting professions. Apart from traditional MINT subjects, such as mathematics, informatics, natural sciences, and technology, the university's range of courses also includes business studies and design. In line with market requirements, more than 70 Bachelor's and Master's degree programs are not just offered as full-time courses of study; there is also an ever-increasing number of dual study programs.
The university focuses on modern teaching, guided by the latest didactic insights, and utilizes up-to-date methods such as e-learning. Students are provided with individual personal support, which allows for an intense exchange of knowledge and experiences with the teaching staff. The incorporation of current research and development findings optimally prepares students for their professional careers after graduation.
When it comes to research, the FH Aachen strives to be among the strongest universities in Germany's applied sciences. The competencies are mainly in the future areas of energy, mobility, and life sciences. The latest research results are directly incorporated into teaching.
Through close cooperation with regional businesses, the university and business enterprises collaborate on developing products and methods that provide added value directly in the region. The FH Aachen trains and educates young women and men who assume responsibility in regional businesses and contribute to the development of the local trade and industry by applying their research-related expert knowledge and methodological skills.
The expansion of regional, national and international networking in teaching and research is an essential part of the FH Aachen's plans for the future, especially about the campuses' euro regional location in Aachen and Jülich, in immediate proximity to Belgium and the Netherlands. A further decisive step is offering international degree programs. Here, the language of instruction is English, which is meant to attract more foreign prospective students. In this context, the cooperation with numerous and significant foreign partner universities of the FH Aachen is particularly attractive.
The FH Aachen's Freshman Institute prepares students from all over the world for further study in Germany. Imparting language skills and content competence in a highly focused manner enables students to commence a Bachelor's degree program in North Rhine-Westphalia seamlessly.
The FH Aachen is one of the most research-intensive universities of applied sciences in Germany. The scientists of our faculties and institutes are first and foremost in the future topic areas energy, mobility, and life sciences. Additionally, outstanding experts work in the fields of design, architecture and civil engineering, mechanical engineering, economics and logistics, electrical engineering, information technology, and production engineering at the FH Aachen.
Research at the FH Aachen is innovative, practice-oriented, and interdisciplinary. This also becomes obvious when considering the framework for an interdisciplinary understanding of research and development, adopted in 2011, to guarantee common standards.
This is why you will find the best conditions for future cooperations here. As the Innovation Transfer department of the FH Aachen, we are looking forward to contacting you.
To bundle, distinguish and permanently establish the participating universities' research activities, competence platforms have been created within the framework of platform funding from the Ministry of Innovation, Science, and Research of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Competence platforms serve as elements helping to build structures and shape different profiles at the universities of applied sciences; they are supposed to boost research and teaching.
The Data Processing Centre is your first contact point for setting up FH Aachen network services. Service changes and new features will be published on the DVZ pages and notifications of possible malfunctions.
Which university and which field of study suit me the best? "A Good Academic Start in Engineering" (Guter Studienstart in Ingenieurbereich) offers prospective students the opportunity to gain insight into a course of study at the FH Aachen and RWTH Aachen University and to attend the first seminars and lectures.
