About THWS
The Technical University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt (THWS) was established in 1971, with campuses in two locations in Würzburg and Schweinfurt. Today, the THWS is one of the largest universities of applied sciences in Bavaria (southern Germany). As a public university, we guarantee an excellent academic education recognised throughout the world.
Course offerings
With its 10 departments and more than 40 undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, as well as six research institutes, the THWS offers a broad, practice- and future-oriented course programme. Within the THWS i-Campus concept, English Bachelor's programmes add to the wide range of German programmes. Courses take place in modern lecture rooms and laboratories equipped with innovative technology and state-of-the-art appliances.
Low student-teacher ratio
Studying at THWS is characterised by small study groups and a low student-teacher ratio. Through a great share of seminar papers, students learn to work independently. Additionally, project work promotes the students' team-working abilities.
Education with a special focus on application and practice
Almost 200 professors with solid professional experience from industry and business provide scientific education with special relevance to application and practice.
The university collaborates closely with regional and trans-regional businesses. Students benefit from this close collaboration by being able to do internships and having the possibility to write their Bachelor's theses in one of these companies. Moreover, they have the chance to build a network for their future career.
International focus
THWS excels due to its international orientation. For more than 30 years, the university has welcomed students from over 80 countries. Worldwide, THWS is associated with more than 170 universities.
Located in Bavaria
Würzburg, with its 133,000 inhabitants, is one of the largest cities in Bavaria, in the south of Germany. Its numerous students lend the city a very special character. Additionally, the city offers a wide range of events such as the Africa Festival or the Kiliani fair. Many wine festivals provide evidence that wine is part of the cultural heritage of the area. Würzburg's skyline is shaped by many historical sights: high up on a hill, the Marienberg Fortress overlooks the city and exemplifies Würzburg's history of over a thousand years. The Würzburg Residence is one of the most important castles in Europe and has been designated a UNESCO world heritage site.
