Dear Prospective Students,
Expand your horizon at FH Westküste University of Applied Science – that’s what we offer you.
A short distance from Hamburg, beautifully situated between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, lies Heide, the home of the FH Westküste University of Applied Sciences.
In our faculties of Business and Engineering, you can pursue a high-quality and diverse program of study, earning either your Bachelor’s or Master’s degree.
What makes us special?
At the West Coast UAS, you’re not just close to key topics like the energy transition and shaping a sustainable future – you’re actively involved. Our programs are deeply application-oriented and practice-focused. "Getting involved" in the future – that’s the core spirit of the West Coast UAS. Since our founding in 1993, we’ve driven innovation in teaching and research and developed exciting programs ranging from “Green Energy” to “Green Branding,” gaining recognition far beyond our region.
By the way:
The West Coast UAS is on a mission to become the most sustainable university in Schleswig-Holstein. We would be delighted if you actively joined us on this path.
From day one, a teaching and learning environment characterized by open doors and short distances defines our community. Whether you're a student or a lecturer: having a friendly chat over coffee in front of the library or relaxing on the sofas in the main building is a natural part of the daily life at the UAS. Our professors are here to support you, acting as approachable mentors and companions throughout your studies. You’re more than just a student ID number to us – your academic success is close to our hearts.
So, if the North, nature, and the coast sound like the most beautiful place in the world to you, then you’ve come to the right place. Whether it’s “SPO” (St. Peter-Ording) or Büsum, kitesurfing or windsurfing, beach bars or just clearing your head with a walk on the shore after class – the sea is never far away. And if the changing weather or the green horizon ever becomes too much: our 40 partner universities around the world offer you attractive opportunities to experience a second learning environment.
