HM Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences was founded in 1971 by merging seven colleges of technology and higher education, some of which date back to the early 19th century. Today the university is the largest of its kind in Bavaria and the second largest in Germany. The teaching staff of almost 500 professors and around 750 lecturers work towards one goal – ensuring that the university's 18,000 students not only acquire knowledge but also know-how.
Munich is one of the best known and most lively international cities in Germany with its three major universities, an international airport and well-known theatres, superb museums and the annual "Oktoberfest". It is located close to Lake Chiemsee and Lake Starnberg with skiing possible in the Bavarian and Austrian mountains.
