Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen

Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen (THM) is a modern public university of applied sciences with a strong reputation for high quality education and applied research. With around 75 degree programmes and 14,400 students (winter term 25/26), it is one of the largest universities of applied sciences (HAW) in Germany with campus sites in three cities in the state of Hesse: Giessen, Friedberg and Wetzlar.

All programmes are designed to prepare students for successful careers in engineering, computer science, bioscience, health and management. In addition to academic teaching, THM puts a strong focus on research and knowledge transfer in cooperation with the regional industry. Collaborations with local companies and start-ups serve as a perfect example for the practical relevance of higher education. The eight interdisciplinary centres of competence highlight THM’s research priorities. As a member of the “Research Campus of Central Hessen”, THM facilitates collaborative PhD programmes in engineering.

In 2016, THM became the first university of applied sciences in Germany to open its own independent graduate centre and has since been granted the right to award the Doctor of Engineering degree. Within the field of knowledge transfer, THM’s key focus is on supporting start-ups.
