Strong practical relevance

At the University of Applied Sciences Osnabrück teaching and research are oriented towards the requirements of ‘the real world ‘. This is also mirrored in the qualifications of the teaching staff who have at least 3 years of practical professional experience in addition to their academic-scientific qualification and their pedagogical education.

Skills for the job
The educational aim is to enable the students in their respective study program to achieve success in their future professional life. This includes not only training in different subjects, but also methodological and social skills. At the end of their studies the students are able to assert themselves flexibly and competently in the labor market even in a changing world. The project-orientated courses promote the practical and interdisciplinary skills demanded from the profession whilst developing key personal skills.

Practice-oriented research
Numerous research and development projects on practice-oriented issues have been carried out in the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Landscape Architecture for many years. The research activities are made possible by the well-equipped laboratories and experimental areas. However, a large number of projects are running outside the faculty in cooperation with other universities and enterprises. External research funds are secured both from state funding institutions and from companies. Both master students and PhD students are invited to contact us in order to find possibilities for research and projects.

Technology transfer - business cooperations
The knowledge and technology transfer takes place within the framework of a large number of co-operations with companies, public authorities and institutions from private industry. Participation in fairs, conferences and exhibitions makes it possible for the students to take up direct contact with the target groups of knowledge transfer.

Beautiful campus
The lecture halls, seminar rooms, canteen and library are situated in a beautiful park-like campus at the outskirts of the city of Osnabrück. The teaching facilities for horticulture, agriculture, home economics and nutrition sciences, and landscape planning are situated at the same site. The campus facilities and student pubs in the city centre (15 min by bicycle or by public transport) give students ample opportunities for social exchange and parties.
