Hochschule Fresenius (Fresenius University of Applied Sciences) is one of Germany's oldest and most highly respected private higher education institutions, with roots tracing back to a chemical laboratory founded by Carl Remigius Fresenius in 1848. Combining over a century of scientific heritage with today's innovative and applied educational model, the state-recognized university offers international students a truly unique academic experience.

The institution offers a wide range of bachelor's and master's programs in fields such as business, international management, media, technology, chemistry, biology, and health sciences. Featuring numerous programs taught entirely in English, Fresenius goes beyond traditional theoretical education by adopting a strictly industry-focused approach. Thanks to small class sizes, a faculty composed of industry professionals, real-world corporate projects, and extensive corporate networks, students have the opportunity to put theory into practice and build a solid career foundation long before graduation.

The university boasts campuses in some of Germany's most economically and culturally robust cities, including Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Cologne, Düsseldorf, and Idstein. This extensive and strategic campus network provides students with direct access to Germany's massive industrial, financial, and startup ecosystems. With their multicultural diversity, high living standards, and welcoming atmospheres for international students, these cities offer Fresenius students not just a prestigious German degree, but an inspiring head start to their career journey in the heart of Europe.
