Fachhochschule
A Fachhochschule, or University of Applied Sciences, is a higher education institution focused on practical and applied learning. It offers professionally oriented degree programs, such as bachelor's and master's, often collaborating closely with industries and employers. Unlike traditional universities that emphasize theoretical research, Fachhochschulen prioritize hands-on experience, internships, and applied projects to prepare students directly for careers. They cover fields like engineering, business, social sciences, and design, providing a high-quality education that combines academic knowledge with practical skills to meet labor market needs.
