Overview
CVJM-Hochschule is a Protestant university of applied sciences in Kassel that trained people for service in the church, the Diakonie, the YMCA movement (CVJM) and wider society.
Its teaching centred on social work and on religious and congregational education, combining academic study with practical placements and a community-minded campus life. In April 2026 the institution merged with Evangelische Hochschule Darmstadt to form the new Evangelische Hochschule Hessen.
The Kassel degree courses continue under that name, and current information on programmes and applications is now published on the website of the merged university. The Kassel offering includes a full-time on-campus double bachelor in religious and congregational education and social work, several online bachelor routes in social work with on-campus phases (part-time, practice-integrated, and shortened routes for trained educators and special-needs care workers) and a master's programme in public theology and social work.
Students and staff form a shared learning and living community with spiritual activities, and the campus is scheduled to relocate to Schwalmstadt-Treysa in the coming years.
Applicants should check the Evangelische Hochschule Hessen pages for current entry requirements and deadlines.
