Hochschule Fresenius University of Applied Sciences

From its main campus in Idstein near Wiesbaden, the Fresenius University of Applied Sciences can look back on more than 165 years of tradition in science teaching. In 1848 Carl Remigius Fresenius founded the Fresenius Chemical Laboratory, which has devoted itself from the very beginning to practical laboratory work as well as education. Certification as a privately funded, state-approved university of applied sciences followed in 1971.\\Today, the university offers full-time and part-time Bachelor's and Master's degrees as well as vocational training and further education at its headquarters in Idstein and its campuses in Cologne, Hamburg, Munich, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Berlin, and New York. Courses are allocated to different schools: Business School, International Business School, Media School, Medical School, Psychology School, School of Chemistry, Biology & Pharmacy, AMD School of Design, and AMD School of Fashion. This grouping into subject fields increases the focus on the university's fields of expertise and those of its faculties (Chemistry & Biology, Health & Social Affairs, Economics & Media, and Design).
