Modern Universities for up-to-date Jobs
The practical orientation of their course content is one reason for the considerable appeal of degree programmes at a University of Applied Sciences. In work-placement semesters, you will learn within a project framework, and in your dissertation at the end of your degree programme you will concern yourself not only with theoretical problems but above all with concrete questions arising from the work situation. Degree programmes at Universities of Applied Sciences are compact and target-structured, resulting in a short prescribed period of study compared to the traditional form of university. Their professors have career experience behind them in addition to their academic qualifications, and they will pass the benefits of both on to you. Not only that, but they will establish contacts for you in commerce and industry, thus smoothing your entry into a successful career.
Many new degree programmes take into account the latest developments in technology, the media and social work. It is for this reason that the Universities of Applied Sciences also play an important role in continuing vocational training, offering postgraduate degree and advanced training courses. Details of these are available from the Universities of Applied Sciences concerned. A particularly innovative form of educational provision is Bavaria’s on-line university, the so-called “Virtuelle Hochschule Bayern ”. It is an interactive multi-media network of all Bavaria’s universities, offering top quality lectures by Bavaria’s professors on the internet.
