University - The Particular

Jade University of Applied Sciences is a young university, but it draws on a long educational tradition. What does this mean? It was founded in 2009 when two former universities of applied sciences merged. That means you will find the very latest learning and teaching concepts here, as well as solid experience and expertise of educational establishments dating back to 1832. And although around 6,100 students are currently enrolled, they quickly adjust to the family-like atmosphere and have access to a wide range of support services that accompany them throughout their time at university.

Study Programme - Main Focus

With more than 60 degree programmes ranging from architecture, building and construction, geoinformation and engineering sciences, to health technologies, economics, nautical science and maritime transport, logistics and management/information/technology, we can offer a wide variety of options to suit different strengths and interests. Degree programmes such as "Hearing Technology and Audiology" and "Shipping and Port Operations" are unique to Jade University of Applied Sciences.

Background - The Insight

After its founding in 2009, the university needed a new, catchy name. The perfect name was not difficult to find, as the Jade river connects the three study locations of Wilhelmshaven, Oldenburg and Elsfleth. The Jade is a river in Lower Saxony that is around 22 km long. It originates near Oldenburg, winds its way through the municipality of the same name in the Wesermarsch region and finally reaches the sea in Jade Bay, east of Varel.

One well-known graduate of Jade University of Applied Sciences is Olaf Lies, the current Minister-President of Lower Saxony.

What's special here?

Once a year in November, around 30 professors from Jade University of Applied Sciences and University of Oldenburg take over the turntables in popular Oldenburg clubs. The "Night of the Profs" is great fun, and students get to know their "profs" from a completely different angle. The university's largest charity event welcomes more than 2,000 party guests each year.
