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.

The Pied Piper of Hamelin whistles right outside the door.
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.
"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."
