1848

Founding year

 

Founded in 1848 by Carl Remigius Fresenius, and with its roots in the Fresenius Chemical Laboratory, Hochschule Fresenius, University of Applied Sciences can look back on an over 175-year-old tradition in privately funded education in Germany. This makes it the oldest educational chemistry institute of its kind. True to the intent of its founder, it combines teaching, research, and practical application. The name Fresenius stands for practically oriented teaching closely linked to applied research and development.

 

More about Hochschule Fresenius

Over the years, Hochschule Fresenius has continuously evolved its range of courses and its strategic directions, which involves a high focus on international students and a high international focus in general. Here, a variety of services are now being offered to international students (e.g. chatrooms with current students, new payment options, accommodations, visa support, student jobs). The university of applied sciences is actively involved in shaping tertiary education in Europe. The teaching, research, and practical application is interdisciplinary and team-oriented.
