Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences

The Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences has a great reputation in the region and far beyond. It is the largest and highest performing University of Applied Sciences in Lower Saxony. Four faculties (Agricultural Sciences and Landscape Architecture; Engineering and Computer Science; Management, Culture, and Technology [in Lingen]; and Business Management and Social Sciences) and the Institute of Music form the backbone of the university at the two locations in Osnabrück and Lingen.

With around 110 degree programmes, the Bachelor's, Master's and advanced training levels are truly comprehensive. Our university has been a pioneer in many areas of academic training – e.g. in the establishment of new degree programmes – and has thus earned the reputation of being an innovative and progressive institution of higher education. With 14,000 students (as of spring 2020), our ever-growing university has reached an impressive size. Nonetheless, it has cultivated and maintained the character of a familiar and personal place of teaching and learning.

The university has a noteworthy research orientation. It is committed to the approach of a University of Applied Sciences. That is, the university is actively involved in society and views research as a vital contribution to practically aiding in the resolution of socially relevant issues. It places great emphasis on a close dialogue with its economic, social, and political environment. Four of the profile-defining research concentrations are healthcare services research, care management, and informatics in healthcare; pioneering agricultural system technologies; innovative materials and material technologies; and energy systems, management, and law.

With the recent establishment of domestic research priorities focusing on inclusion, the energy supply of the future, urban agriculture, musicians' health, and organisational communication, the university generates substantial momentum for interdisciplinary research. The domestic research is funded through internal funds alone.
