University - The Particular

Hochschule Emden/Leer is a campus university of applied sciences that combines a personal atmosphere and short distances for its students with a future-oriented range of courses and a strong practical focus. Learning takes place in small groups with direct contact to the teaching staff.

The university's proximity to the sea provides numerous recreational activities that very few universities can match. Another advantage is that students can expect lower living expenses in the cities of Emden and Leer compared to metropolitan areas.

Background - The Insight

Due to its numerous activities, Hochschule Emden/Leer was one of the first universities in Germany to be certified as a "Fairtrade University" several years ago. Social responsibility and sustainability are very important topics for us, and influence our overall concept. With a wide range of courses in this field, exciting research projects and excellent networking with partners in the region and beyond, Hochschule Emden/Leer plays an important role as an educational institution and source of inspiration.

Where to meet

The Lüttje Studis Huus – the house of students – offers space for studying together, taking short breaks, playing games, health activities and much more. Located in the heart of the campus in Emden, students from different departments meet here to spend time together outside of lectures.
