htw saar
We are a research-intensive, application-oriented university with a strong regional focus. We create an environment in which skills are developed and the future is shaped. Our university is characterized by its interdisciplinary cooperation, its high level of commitment and its strong regional roots.
Our faculties of architecture and civil engineering, engineering, social sciences and economics offer a wide range of courses tailored to the needs of the regional economy and society. Together with ASW gGmbH, we offer dual study programs. Our Franco-German University Institute (DFHI) offers a unique, cross-border range of courses that prepares our students for the challenges of a globalized world.
practice-oriented
We stand for practice-oriented teaching and maintain close contacts with companies in the region. Our students apply their knowledge in practice at an early stage and make valuable contacts for their entry into working life. With our professional profile, we prepare them specifically for the tasks, projects and transformation processes that move the economy and society in the region.
We support our students in developing start-up ideas and provide them with targeted offers and resources so that they can realize their projects. The joint start-up center of htw saar and Fitt creates optimal conditions for this.
strong in research
We are one of the strongest universities of applied sciences in terms of research. Together with partners from industry, society and public institutions, our scientists develop concrete solutions for current challenges. In doing so, we combine scientific expertise with practical benefits and bring new findings directly into application. The transfer of knowledge is reciprocal: our research strengthens the innovative power of companies - at the same time, experience, needs and impulses from practice flow into our teaching. This creates sustainable collaborations that promote innovation and drive sustainable developments in the region. In this way, we shape innovations together and take responsibility for the future of the region.
