University - The Particular

The Weserbergland University of Applied Sciences (HSW) offers a personal atmosphere with individual support and degree programmes which are practically relevant. Here, you will not experience anonymity, but will have designated contact persons who are always available to answer your questions. Our modern, ergonomic rooms create an inspiring learning environment. With state-recognised degree programmes and a focus on current economic trends, we guarantee quality and relevance. As a small university, we provide intensive support for your personal development while also challenging you.

Study Programme - Main Focus

HSW focuses on practice-integrating dual-system degree programmes, connecting university education with practical training periods in a company. By offering a variety of specialisations, dual degree programmes can be tailored to sector-specific requirements. In addition, HSW provides part-time degree programmes, taking into account the needs of employees and employers in a demand-sensitive and sustainable way. In this way we develop professional and personal talents in all phases of their life and career.

Background - The Insight

HSW and its students' projects have received numerous awards. They have been recognised at the Project Management Championship, the Energy Award and the Postbank Finance Award. HSW also won the Bachelor's Award of the German Association for Human Resource Management (DGFP) and the Welt Finance Essay Award, as well as the Klima.Sieger competition. HSW ranked fifth in the 2020 StudyCheck university ranking and also achieved top results in the 2020 and 2023 university rankings of Centre for Higher Education (CHE). With its dual degree programmes in business administration and business informatics, HSW ranks consistently among the top institutions.

[Translate to English:] Testimonial Celine der Hochschule Weserbergland

I study at HSW because…

"I would recommend HSW anytime! The modern facilities, the expert support from the lecturers and the continuous development of the university are simply impressive. Studying in small groups and the practical approach were reason enough for me to also complete my master's degree at HSW."

Celine, studied Business Administration

Where to meet

HSW is located directly on the Weser promenade, just a 5-minute walk from Hamelin's famous old town. HSW also features a student lab and various common rooms. An absolute highlight is the 'zedita.digitalhub', which belongs to the university – a space for new learning and working right in the heart of Hamelin's railway station. Here, there is plenty of room for ideas, creativity and exchange.
