Currently, approximately 2,200 students from 36 countries are studying at the Schools of Business Administration, Engineering, and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. That might not be many when compared to universities in larger towns, but in addition to the practice-oriented approach, it is above all the personal supervision that contributes to student success at UAS Stralsund. What’s more: The university doesn’t just have a family atmosphere; its family-friendliness and accessibility have been certified. That’s what you call a true host!

Not only local companies, but also businesses from all over Germany and across the globe are interested in the graduates from our highly ranked degree courses. Nearly all of the degree courses can also be taken as part of dual degree programmes with high levels of practice. This is made possible by the university’s strong ties to numerous companies. At the same time, UAS Stralsund’s application-based research is an important motor for the state’s economy.

There is another advantage of studying in Stralsund: Living costs are much lower than in many other university towns.
