With approximately 4,500 students and 160 professors, aided and abetted by over 100 contract lecturers and more than 300 technicians and administrative staff, the Hochschule Mannheim is one of the largest universities of applied sciences in the Federal state of Baden-Württemberg. The engineering departments (Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Process Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Information Technology) continued from the former Mannheim School of Engineering, established back in 1898. Most of the graduate programmes offered still centre around these subjects.
In line with ongoing progress in science and technology, the University has also responded to the changing requirements of the labour market, supplementing the engineering departments with new and innovative study programmes in computer science, engineering and management and biotechnology.
After the integration of the College of Design and the merger with the College of Social Studies, the Hochschule Mannheim now offers a broader range of study programmes than most of the other universities of applied sciences. This broad spectrum and the synergies it produces provide a sound basis for the acquisition of the requisite methodical competence and specialist knowledge, in conjunction with social skills and interdisciplinary thinking.
With all the assets of a modern university campus, the Hochschule Mannheim provides students with ideal conditions for squaring up to the requirements posed by the professional careers they have set their sights on. Close working contacts with industry, professional associations and cultural institutions, together with the Karl Völker Foundation affiliated to the University, represent an ideal breeding ground for internationally acclaimed research and development activities. For many years the Hochschule Mannheim has been one of the most research-intensive universities of applied sciences in Baden-Württemberg. As such, it enables its students to participate in a wide range of research and development projects prior to graduation.
The Hochschule Mannheim has a large number of cooperative agreements with companies, universities and research institutions all over the world. This international network facilitates frequent student and staff exchange and the University’s active participation in the global transfer of knowledge.
The Hochschule Mannheim systematically prepares its students for the opportunities and challenges presented by a global labour market. At present, about a quarter of our students take advantage of the existing network of associated companies and universities to spend at least one semester abroad during their studies. Today, international experience is high up among the key qualifications expected of young graduates. Numerous activities and institutions at the Hochschule Mannheim support students in their efforts to gain this kind of experience.
The Language Centre provides instruction in the most important languages of the international community, thus enabling students to overcome language barriers with ease. The International Office advises students on all matters pertaining to study, practical experience and residence in other countries. The University also has a scholarship programme for those requiring financial assistance for a period of study abroad.
The Hochschule Mannheim itself is a highly attractive location for international students. About 20% of the young people enrolled here are non-German, hailing from more than 90 countries all over the world. With their different cultural backgrounds they greatly enliven the atmosphere on campus and broaden the horizons of our German students.
Bachelor programmes in various subjects are alternatively available in English, while the Master programme in Biotechnology is conducted entirely in this language. This makes it easier for many international students to acclimatise to their new surroundings. These students can always turn to the International Office for help and advice, for example when applying for a room in a hall of residence.
