The FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences was founded in 1971 after the merger of several technical colleges and vocational training centres. Thereby, it looks back on a more than 100-year-old practice-oriented educational tradition.

Theory and practice are closely linked up during the entire course of study. The close connection with professional practice, that more than 230 professors and approximately 700 employees maintain in teaching and research, guarantees a professionally qualifying and scientifically sound course of study.
