Dresden University of Applied Sciences

Dresden University of Applied Sciences was founded in 1992. It is the second-largest university in the capital of the state of Saxony. Engineering, economics, design, and 'green' disciplines constitute the four pillars of the 36 forward-looking diplomae, bachelor's, and master's degree programs in civil engineering/architecture, electrical engineering, informatics, product design, and machine engineering, and business administration are based on. These degree programs include several unique subjects to post-secondary education in Saxony, such as agriculture, horticulture, landscape planning and development, environmental monitoring and analysis, geoinformatics, and surveying well as geoinformatics and cartography.
With eight faculties, approximately 170 professors, and more than 5,000 students, the university is large enough to successfully integrate the different disciplines and generate a high synergistic effect. On the other hand, it is still manageable enough to facilitate personal dialogue in individual courses.
Dresden University of Applied Sciences was founded in 1992, and the institution has developed a significant engineering and economics profile that is complemented by artistic skill. The university possesses a regional and international focus and a broad range of practical experience-oriented programs combined with diverse experience in applied research projects.
The programs are at the center of our activities at HTW Dresden. Instructional lectures in small groups, individual support, and a structured schedule enable the program to be completed within the regular period. Transfer of the required professional and methodical knowledge and social skills takes place based on scientific knowledge. The combination of career, studies, and family is equally important to students as it is to employees.
The study programs at HTW Dresden may be completed alongside regular employment and fulfill our practice partners' requirements. A high degree of internship time within the curriculum and internships and theses at participating companies enable graduates to start their careers as quickly as possible. Varied professional development activities promote a lifelong love of learning. Personal bonds developed throughout the program are also fostered by the alumni network.
At HTW Dresden, the unification of instruction and research and the transfer of knowledge from the results of current research are actively promoted. The research profile is application-oriented and interdisciplinary, corresponds with our core competence, and is continuously refined. The university is part of a network of companies, research, educational institutions, associations, and lobbyists. Cooperative promotional events help support the scientific achievements of future students.
Quality assurance is one of HTW Dresden's most essential principles. A quality management system enables processes to be applied during lectures, research, and administration to be documented and improved and increases the transparency of decision-making procedures.
HTW Dresden works according to the merit system, which stimulates motivation to work effectively, generates a feeling of solidarity between members and associates, and creates pride in what has been achieved. The university places value on equality and an environment conducive to social, cultural, and ecological harmony. It is dedicated to the concept of sustainability and all people's inclusion, independent of their social, ethnic, or religious origins.
Each year, more than 100 students from our partner universities complete a one or two-semester stay at one of Dresden University of Applied Sciences' eight faculties as exchange students. Students attend lectures, work on projects at the university or companies in Dresden, or work on their program projects (e.g., diploma thesis, bachelor's thesis, master's thesis, dissertation). However, these stays certainly do not lead to graduation from the university.
You may also study as an exchange student at Dresden University of Applied Sciences if a cooperation agreement exists between your home university and ours (university cooperation and Erasmus+ cooperation and double degree cooperation).
A simplified application process is available for exchange students. In case you have questions about applying, please contact the international department or the Erasmus+ university coordinator at your home university.
There are exciting offers available to pupils in the labs, seminar rooms, and lecture halls. The appropriate contact will process inquiries.
All the information you need regarding studying is available under "Prospective Students."
By university laws in Saxony, exceptionally gifted graduates from universities of applied science can be admitted to a cooperative doctoral program to complete their doctorate. The HTW Dresden is not currently authorized to offer doctoral studies, for which reasonable efforts are being made to facilitate cooperative doctoral study programs with other universities.
The modalities must be coordinated with the corresponding Faculty. Each of the eight faculties of the HTW Dresden has a varied and expanding number of laboratories for teaching- and research purposes.
