Small seminar groups enable close interaction between students and teaching staff. Orientation weeks and mentoring programmes help first-year students get off to a good start at university. In addition, Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences offers free support for aspects related to learning.

What's special here?

On the Westerberg Campus, students often meet at the "Frog". This lecture hall building with its spacious study space, located between a modern dining hall and the new library building, owes this name to its unusual architecture and colour scheme. With comfortable seating and large desks in a multi-level space, the light-flooded building is ideal for group study.
