Munich, the capital of Bavaria with just under 1,300,000 inhabitants, is at the forefront of the German technology scene. It is home to more than 20,000 high-tech companies and is an important part of the European growth market. However, it has also established itself as one of the cultural capitals of the world. With a rich heritage spanning eight hundred and fifty years, Munich is a town of theatre and music, film, literature and art, museums, bars, clubs, festivals and sports facilities - not forgetting the beer gardens, of course! The local surroundings couldn't be better.
The University of Applied Sciences - München was founded in 1971. However, some of its predecessors - seven engineering and technical colleges - date back to the early nineteenth century. The University of Applied Sciences - München is now the largest university of its kind in Bavaria and the second largest in Germany. Excellent contacts with local businesses in the high-tech region of Munich ensure that students have the opportunity to apply their acquired knowledge in industry and develop their creative potential.
The University of Applied Sciences - München provides compact degree programmes and a practice-focused education. Its graduates are young when they begin their careers and along with scientific skills they can also offer practical experience, which they have acquired during the obligatory internship semesters. The academic degrees provide a strong foundation for a successful career in Germany or abroad. Professors and lecturers at the university all work towards one goal - ensuring that their students acquire not only knowledge, but also know-how.
