Welcome to our close-knit campus!
With around 1,600 students and located between Hamburg and Sylt, we offer you not only the best studies of your life but a true experience.
In the faculties of Business and Engineering, Bachelor’s and Master’s programs await you. Practical relevance, close cooperation with industry, and a strong focus on sustainability in all areas of the university shape your studies.
The university itself impresses with its short distances. It’s are not spread out over many square kilometres; instead, you’ll find everything compact and close together on our campus: modern teaching and learning spaces, the library—which we are currently renovating and furnishing with new furniture—our café lounge, laboratories, and of course the student union’s cafeteria. By the way: two large student dormitories are located right next to the campus, and you can easily get around here by bike.
At the FH Westküste University of Applied Sciences, we attach great importance on personal contact and community. The first contact for international students is often the team of the International Office (IO). The IO accompanies all phases of the stay and organizes events like the Welcome Days for international students. It is typical for German universities that the Student Union (AStA) plays a big role in the campus life. The student union together with the Student Parliament (StuPa) are bodies of the student self-representation. They represent the student community in exchange with the university, service institutions like Studentenwerk and externally. Every student can engage in the different departments of AStA and profit from its services as well. In Heide the AStA plays a big role as it offers services from student to student: for example the university sport, the newspaper WEST, the merchandise sales, events and excursions and the international department are in the hands of AStA.
