DAAD Glossary

Fachhochschule

A "Fachhochschule" is a university of applied sciences. These universities have a strong practical focus. Students receive a highly applications-oriented training and complete practical semesters to gain experience in these applied fields. Studies are normally shorter than at traditional universities.

Hochschule

"Hochschule" is the generic term for the various kinds of higher education or tertiary level institutions (Hochschultypen), such as universities, universities of applied sciences or colleges of art, film or music (Kunst-, Film- und Musikhochschulen), or colleges of education (Pädagogische Hochschulen).

Promotion

"Promotion" is the German word for a doctorate and for the process that leads to this degree. Doctoral students (Promovierende or Doktoranden) earn a doctorate by producing a written research paper (dissertation or thesis) and by defending their paper in an oral exam called Rigorosum or Disputation, very similar to a viva (voce). To gain a doctorate, candidates generally have to prove that they hold an academic degree. Many universities offer graduate schools or graduate colleges (Graduiertenkollegs) or even whole doctoral programmes to "promote" the qualifications of their doctoral students and candidates.

Universität

"Universität" means university and is used for research universities (wissenschaftliche Hochschulen) that offer a broad range of subjects (like arts and humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, economics and business administration, law, medicine). These institutions confer doctorates. The strong research focus benefits students in their training. Please note, however, that English texts often use the term "university" generically, i.e. to cover all kinds of higher education institutions, for example, universities of the arts, universities of applied sciences, universities of education, etc.
