The partners:
The Aachen University of Applied Sciences – with its 8000 students, 220 professors, 200 assistant lecturers and 440 other employees in the locations Aachen and Jülich – is one of the largest German universities of applied sciences. It was founded in 1971, but some of its precursors have existed for 100 years.
A highly practical approach to lecturing and research is one of the central maxims of the Aachen UAS. Close cooperation with regionally and internationally active companies, renowned research institutes and many universities around the world guarantees an education in line with the increasing requirements of the modern job market. The Aachen UAS optimizes its course palette and its attractiveness continually by introducing new, highly qualified Bachelor- and Master-Courses. An example is the development of the new Bachelor-Course specializing in power plant technology.
