Overview
Hochschule Osnabrück is a university of applied sciences in Lower Saxony, Germany, with around 13,000 students across four campuses: Westerberg, Caprivi and Haste in Osnabrück, and Lingen in the Ems valley.
Teaching is organised into four faculties, Agricultural Sciences and Landscape Architecture, Engineering and Computer Science, Business Administration and Social Sciences, and Management, Culture and Technology in Lingen, together with the Institute of Music. More than 100 Bachelor's, Master's and continuing-education programmes cover agriculture, food and landscape design, engineering, informatics, business, law, health, social work and music education.
Many courses link theory with practical experience, and students can choose between full-time, dual, practice-integrated and part-time study. Several programmes are taught in English or offer a semester abroad or a double degree.
International students are supported by the Center for International Students, and the university runs summer and winter schools, German courses and a guest-listener programme for refugees.
Applications for most programmes go through an online portal, with winter-semester deadlines in July and summer-semester deadlines in January for restricted-admission courses, and many Bachelor's programmes take part in the national DoSV allocation procedure.
