South Westphalia University of Applied Sciences has locations in Hagen, Iserlohn, Lüdenscheid, Meschede and Soest. We are among the larger public universities of applied sciences in North Rhine-Westphalia. Despite this, studying has a personal feel at each location. Small study groups and personal support enable students to progress smoothly through their courses. Our range of courses, which are also international in outlook, are tailored both to full-time students and those who work or wish to combine vocational training with a degree.
