Special features regarding teaching

Naval Engineering: practically oriented training with qualification for maritime machine management, extensive fleet of machinery and systems of ship aggregates. Mechanical Engineering/Systems Engineering: Focus on computer-aided design and calculation of processes and products with engineering simulation as an industry-independent approach. Relation to practice through numerous laboratories. Extensive range of tutorials (mathematics, mechanics, physics, e-technology etc.). In systems engineering, students are taught through interdisciplinary projects.

Special features regarding the international orientation

Partner universities for studying abroad: Mechanical Engineering: Syddansk Universitet, Odense + Sønderborg; Denmark. Högskolan i Jönköping; Sweden. Linnéuniversitet, Växjö/Kalmar; Sweden. Universidad de Burgos, Spain. Politécnica de Santa Rosa, Mexico. Namibia University of Science and Technology, Windhoek, Namibia. Durban University of Technology, South Africa. Sanda University, Shanghai, China. Naval Engineering: Maritime University of Szczecin, Poland. Syddansk Universitet (SDU), Denmark: Intercultural certificate for graduates with a German and Danish academic degree in projects

Special features regarding the equipment

Naval Engineering: extensive, predominantly very modern technical equipment of simulators and ship engines on campus and on the Flensburg Fjord with testing facilities (large-scale engines, emission control, alternative fuels, water treatment, ...); Mechanical Engineering/Systems Engineering: Extensive facilities with engineering simulation software in laboratories; In addition, extensive laboratory equipment in Drive Engineering, Process Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering. Electromobility: E-Machinery laboratory, high-voltage laboratory, hybrid and electric vehicles

Special features regarding research and development

Naval Engineering: Large engine operation (marine diesel, gas engine); After-treatment of exhaust gases; Alternative fuels, energy efficiency. Mechanical Engineering/Systems Engineering: Biogas Technology/Process Engineering); Hydraulic treatment processes; Innovative production and development processes for SME in the TestUp development centre; Additive manufacturing processes Electromobility: Simulation and test stands, E-Mobility for public transport, optimisation of charging infrastructure. Research and validation of calculation methods for a 3D design of permanent magnets in high-speed synchronous machines

Support for founders

For ten years now, potential start-ups of innovative companies have been promoted in the Jackstädt-Zentrum Flensburg (JZF), part of Flensburg University of Applied Sciences, through existing expertise. With the Dock1 start-up support incubator of the cross-border ‘VentureWærft’ umbrella brand and other third-party funding projects, JZF has a wealth of experience in the areas of academic, green, interdisciplinary and women’s entrepreneurship. According to the latest start-up radar survey [Gründungsradar], the start-up support concept based in Flensburg is very successful and ranks 6th of 55 among small universities.

Other special features

FabLab ideas: High-tech workshop with 3D printers and laser cutters in which students can try out their ideas alone or under supervision. Workshops on equipment operation are offered on a regular basis; TechShop TestUp: Facility with an array of production machines on which students can try out approaches to production and manufacturing engineering and apply these through to pilot-series production. The TechShop supports the start-up activities of the Flensburg University of Applied Sciences; SPS laboratory: Cooperation with the Bachmann company for curricular and independent student projects
