- Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf is one of the younger higher education institutions in North Rhine-Westphalia – founded in 1965. Since 1988 our university has carried the name of one of the city's finest sons. Today around 30,000 students study at a modern campus under conditions ideally suited to academic life. As a campus university where everything is close together, all buildings, including the University Hospital and the specialized libraries, are easily reachable. Our university departments enjoy an excellent reputation due to an exceptionally high number of collaborative research centers. Moreover, the state capital Düsseldorf provides an attractive environment with a high quality of life. Our young university already has a long tradition: It has grown out of the Medical Academy founded in 1907. In 1965 the university was created by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It started with three faculties: the Faculty of Medicine, the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, and the Faculty of Arts and Humanities. In 1988 it was renamed Heinrich Heine University and experienced a period of dynamic growth. In the 1990s, two new faculties were added: the Faculty of Business and Economics and the Faculty of Law. Today, around 30,000 students, more than 2,000 lecturers, and 900 further employees study, teach, and work on our campus. At the beginning of the winter semester of 2015/16, we welcomed about 4000 new students. The Heinrich Heine University (HHU) is divided into five faculties, all located on one campus. The oldest one and core of the university is the Faculty of Medicine, followed by the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences and the Faculty of Arts and Humanities. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Faculty of Business and Economics and the Faculty of Law were then launched. One of our foci today, linking all faculties, is the Life Sciences. Cross-departmental, joint study programs (such as Business Chemistry) are one of our major strengths. Founded in 1992, the Faculty of Law of Dusseldorf's Heinrich-Heine-University is one of the youngest law faculties in the Federal Republic of Germany. With youthful dynamism, the Faculty has quickly developed into one of the most attractive and popular places to study in the country. A well-deserved academic reputation, a modern library, and a strong integration with legal practice constitute the Faculty of Law's second pillar. The clear and distinct profile is focused on business law as well as on European and international law. Manifold contacts to European and other foreign countries define the young and dynamic Faculty. Many students take part in international study exchanges, and the school's professors take part in foreign conferences. Its image is rounded out by various post-graduate offerings that have been integrated into an organizational context by founding a "Law School." Both LL.M.-programs (in German) and international summer schools and courses are available to the public. Seventeen professors are engaged in teaching and research at the Faculty of Law of Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf. Eight institutes are centers of academic work with close ties to everyday law practice. Twenty honorary professors and about 60 lecturers, who contribute their practical experience as judges and lawyers, support the teaching curriculum. Heinrich Heine University is a thriving, dynamic, and innovative university. Since its foundation in 1965, HHU pursues an ongoing growth strategy. Today, HHU comprises five faculties with 365 professorships and eleven central and interdisciplinary facilities. HHU aims to develop a uniquely distinct profile through its developmental plan, HEP 20.21. The strategic measures of this developmental plan HEP 20.21 will result in stringent qualitative and quantitative advancements of Heinrich Heine University. They will position HHU thematically in life sciences, natural sciences, the humanities, and social sciences. This road map's explicit goal is to increase the attractiveness of HHU for outstanding researchers, for junior Faculty, for excellent graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and highly motivated members of faculties and staff within the central university administration and interdisciplinary facilities. HHU also endeavors to attract outstanding students by providing excellent research and teaching programs. Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf is further developing its research profile. Three areas have been identified and will be further enhanced through strategic intramural programs: core areas, areas with high potential, and areas to be further developed. This is implemented by strategic funding of new research endeavors (strategic research fund), establishing an HHU innovation fund, reorganizing the Heine graduate academies (Hera), and the extension of its Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Center as well as the support of individual researchers. These specific measures will allow our university to reach its ambitious qualitative and quantitative aims within the scientific developmental planning by the year 2021. Sustainable scientific alliances with our non-university partner institutions and our university partners will be strengthened and broadened. In addition to HHU's Cluster of Excellence and already established Collaborative Research Centers (CRC), our university endeavors to establish more research initiatives: the continuation and the procurement of new Clusters of Excellence funded by the federal government and federal states, the establishment of new DFG CRCs, DFG research units and research training groups as well as the procurement of additional European Research Council Grants and Emmy-Noether junior research groups funded by the DFG and BMBF as well as other granting organizations are specific developmental aims. In this regard, the broadness of research is considered advantageous as a source for new research areas at HHU. Implementation of the goals outlined above should increase scientific output due to collaborative and individual research projects and result in a significant increase in the annual extramural funding for research activities (from currently approx. € 50 million to approx. € 81 million until the year 2021).

- Hochschule Düsseldorf, University of Applied Sciences (HSD for short) was founded on 1 August 1971 by combining several renowned regional educational institutions. Today, the institution is one of the largest universities of applied sciences in the German Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia and offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary range of subjects. Approximately 10.000 students are taught in 36-degree programs in seven faculties by nearly 200 professors. The educational and research emphasis at HSD has a robust practice and interdisciplinary approach. The university guarantees that course contents are connected to practical work necessities. They are based on extensive professional experiences in commerce, industry, and research of all our professors and lecturers. Thus, practical courses are indeed an integral component of the University's study programs. Besides, HSD has contact with companies and institutions that offer internships and part-time jobs in Germany and abroad, particularly in engineering, social and cultural sciences, and business studies. Mentors supervise students before, during, and after the internships. The university curriculum is strongly concentrated on specific fields: HSD offers teaching and research in design, technology, the social sector, and business studies. The emphasis is on architecture, design, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and process engineering, media, social and cultural sciences, and business studies. All degrees which can be obtained at HSD are Bachelor or Master degrees. The University has around 80 European and around 30 international university agreements and actively promotes students' and lecturers' international exchange by participating in congresses and summer schools. We advise and organize study and internships abroad and communicate and offer many other opportunities for advancement. The Faculty of Media - founded in December 2000 - has the new media and multimedia and its usage for all social and commercial areas as its original course subject matter. Our students are trained to become highly qualified managers and experts for (multi)media solutions. Therefore, it was an obvious step that the faculty work at full stretch to implement precisely this kind of solutions in its teaching. One of HSD's six critical targets is the internationalization of all student, academic and administrative affairs. Exchange of students, teachers, and administrative staff is one of the core issues; international content in study programs is as important as an international campus. The recently adopted internationalization strategy outlines the main features and objectives of measures taken to realize internationalization. Whether you are coming to HSD as a degree-seeking student or as an exchange student: We are here to give you all the information you need on admission requirements, application processes, and student life at HSD and in the city of Düsseldorf. With our IMPact Mentoring Programme, we can help ease the transition to life in Germany and help you make the most out of your time in Düsseldorf. We organize lectures on finance your studies in Germany or the basics of immigration law and other events throughout the semester and connect students from different cultural backgrounds through our bi-annual International Dinner activities.
