Student Life
The city with its 800 year old history is located in the foothills of the Ore Mountains, a one hour drive south-west of Dresden, the capital of the federal state. Mittweida has 16,000 inhabitants and more than 5,000 students.
Within the first decades of the “Technicum” more than half of the students came from abroad; today there are about twenty percent, which is a really high ratio in German comparison. Numerous foreign relationships to Europe, Asia, Africa and America contribute to the internationalisation of the university. There are about 80 partnerships, which create possibilities for students and teachers:
* to study and teach abroad,
* to improve linguistic competences,
* to gain intercultural experiences,
* to work on international projects,
* to participate in conferences and
* to establish international contacts.
Cooperation contracts provide a framework for these activities. Inside the European Union the exchange is strongly determined by the EU-support programme “Erasmus” as a part of the programme “lifelong learning”. Programmes of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) are the basis of international projects, which are realised in the faculties. Multiple double-track contracts make studying in Mittweida attractive for foreign students. The “Cosmopolitanclub” is intensely dedicated since over a decade as an association of German and foreign students at the University of Applied Sciences Mittweida for socio-cultural support of foreign students.

We are a state recognised university in the Free State Saxony in Germany. Almost all of our study programmes are accredited.
