University of Applied Sciences Saarland

We are a research-oriented, application-oriented university with a strong regional connection - secure job almost guaranteed. Teaching and research are organized in the faculties for architecture and civil engineering, engineering, social sciences and economics. Interdisciplinary cooperation and a high level of commitment characterize our university.

The German-French University Institute (DFHI) at htw saar is unique with its cross-border, fully integrated and wide-ranging range of courses.

Due to our practice-oriented teaching and the student practical phases, we have excellent contacts to companies in the region. With the range of services offered by our four faculties, we offer the perfect specialist orientation for upcoming tasks and projects.

We combine theory and practice. Our 48 courses include a practical study phase in a company. Students can thus put their theoretical knowledge from university directly into practice and make initial contacts in the world of work.

Our university is regionally anchored and internationally oriented. Whether it's about improving foreign language skills, acquiring intercultural skills, discovering other countries or enriching your CV with valuable experience: with partner universities worldwide, our students are free to choose their stay abroad. The "Internationalization of Universities" certificate we obtained from the German Rectors' Conference underscores our international orientation. The htw saar has been an associated partner in the university of the Greater Region since 2020. 

We offer our students a wide range of opportunities to take on social responsibility. As part of projects, they develop solutions to specific issues, for example from non-profit organizations, and apply the knowledge they have acquired during their studies in practice. Students can also get involved in various mentoring programs such as first-semester mentoring. The social commitment pays off and can be an additional bonus when you start your career.

Spin-offs have a long tradition at our university. Some of these have grown into large and reputable companies. Already during the course of study there are many offers that introduce the topic of founding or self-employment. With the joint start-up center of htw saar and Fitt, start-up activities are optimally supported. 

Important Facts

For us here at the htw saar, internationality is a way of life. We understand the value of exchange. We know that it is much more than a simple of exchange of people – it is an exchange of ideas. A broadening of horizons, both academic and personal. We believe in promoting the idea of a global student identity, because in doing so we can contribute to shaping a more democratic, fair and equal world, while helping students and employees develop their cultural fluency skills in preparation for a more globalized future. 

In addition to the 6,000 students enrolled at the htw saar, we are home to over 900 international students from 76 countries. This is a significantly higher percentage (16%) of international students than the German national average. One BIG reason why the htw saar is so interesting for international students? Well, thanks to its location in the heart of Europe, Saarbrücken itself is a very international city. Our neighbors, Luxembourg and France, are just a hop, skip and a jump away and always worth a visit…or two…or three. So, studying in Saarbrücken gives you the chance to experience not just one, but 3 exciting European countries! When it comes to internationality, what more could you possibly ask for! 

Our prime location, close to both France and Luxembourg, is one of the main factors that defines our international profile. Our cooperation with the Université de Lorraine in Metz makes us one of the largest providers of joint German-French degree programs. Our Franco-German Institute for Technology and Business (DFHI/ISFATES) offers a wide range of cross-border, fully integrated German-French degree programs in the fields of engineering and business and economics. 

In 2011, we signed the first cooperative agreement with the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (CNAM) – one of France’s grandes écoles – and with it, established a center of competence for cross-border professional development in Forbach, a city close to the French-German border. 

Thanks to the strength of our research activities we were inducted into the respected European University Association (EUA), the largest and most comprehensive organization representing universities in Europe. In 2015, we acquired third-party funding totaling €9.4 million and in 2012, we were successfully audited as part of the “Higher Education Internationalization” initiative run by the Hochschulrektorenkonferenz (HRK) – a leading association of universities and other higher education institutions in Germany. 

The htw saar is proud to be part of the network of the University of the Greater Region (UniGR), an innovative association of 7 universities. The UniGR network currently comprises more than 135,000 students, around 7,000 doctoral students and over 10,000 teachers and researchers. Nowhere else in Europe can students take advantage of the offerings of seven universities in four different countries. Teaching takes place in German, French and English.  

However, our international strategy extends far beyond France and Luxembourg. We cultivate more than 60 international partnerships within Europe (e.g., France, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Finland, Switzerland, and the Netherlands), as well as in countries outside of Europe such as Mexico, USA, Myanmar and China. We are, for example, one of the partner universities involved in the Chinese-German Institute of Applied Sciences (CDHAW) at Tongji University in China. 

With 21 integrated degree programs, the CDHAW offers students at the htw saar the opportunity to acquire a binational double-degree qualification and experience in studying abroad.
