Studying at the FH Mainz
We are delighted that you are interested in studying at the University of Applied Sciences Mainz.
Studying at the FH Mainz means:
A clearly structured offer of courses which is combined with a practical application approach and is time-wise easily manageable. The introduction of the Bachelor-Master structure for study programmes has made it possible to compare university degrees on an international level within the newly formed “European Higher Education Area”.
Likewise, it is a matter of course for our courses to be internationally orientated. The exchange with other universities is particularly important in this respect. Integrated study programmes abroad, internationally accepted Master study programmes, the promotion of semesters abroad and exchange programmes for teachers as well as the intensification of language learning by students in foreign language courses all play a decisive role.
By having contact with many areas of economics and application-related bachelor thesis topics, the transition from studying to working life is made easier. Students get to know corporate reality and are able to make first contact with potential employers. In this respect it is also especially beneficial that all the professors at the University of Applied Sciences have several years of professional experience.
The University of Applied Sciences Mainz attaches great importance to being close to the students. The good relationship between students and professors is promoted by intensive guidance and support, small learning groups and a number of joint projects.
