Special features regarding the international orientation

Hof University of Applied Sciences sees itself as a cosmopolitan and internationally oriented higher education institution. Internationalisation therefore plays a central role in our self-image. Our aim is for as many students as possible to gain international experience. Internationalisation refers not only to international exchange for students and teaching staff or research collaborations, but also to our own study offer.

Special features regarding the equipment

With the laboratories of our four faculties at Hof University of Applied Sciences, we aim to provide a practice-oriented education, where students can deepen the theoretical knowledge they have acquired in lectures. In the laboratories of the Faculties of Computer Science, Interdisciplinary and Innovative Sciences, Engineering and Economics, you will work with high-tech equipment.

Other special features

Hof University of Applied Sciences is committed to equality between women and men, as well as non-binary people. Due to ever-increasing international connections and influences, intercultural aspects will also be included in the equality plan. As a co-designer and driving force behind sustainable development, the campus as a living space – a place to learn, teach, research, transfer knowledge and work – is at the heart of sustainability at Hof University of Applied Sciences.
