Bingen Technical University of Applied Sciences has been training students in engineering and life sciences since 1897. We provide qualified teaching and an intensely practical orientation while closely cooperating with companies. Our approximately thirty degree courses cover engineering, life sciences, IT and communication technology. As a result of application-oriented research, prospective academic degrees from Bachelor's to Doctorates are open to you here. Another advantage is our dual programmes during your vocational training or career. Exchange programmes and double degrees enable you to supplement your skills with international experience.

Geared towards the substantial needs of the working world and life, we work closely with regional and national companies to ensure these requirements are met. As a graduate of Bingen UAS, you will be familiar with the practical aspects and will have already made important contacts.

Solid career paths in the worlds of business and science will consequently be available to you. We follow the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). There are currently no numerus clausus restrictions on admissions.

Studying at Bingen UAS means personal supervision and support, short paths and communication channels, including open doors at a modern yet historical university of applied sciences on its own campus.
