Hochschule RheinMain (HSRM) Summary
Hochschule RheinMain is a public university of applied sciences, located in Wiesbaden, Hesse. Hochschule RheinMain is a public, multi-campus university focused on Wiesbaden and Rüsselsheim. It has five faculties linking design, construction, computing, engineering, social sciences and business. Its institutional development 1971 — Hochschule RheinMain was established during the expansion of the applied higher education in Hesse. The new institution was built upon predecessor schools in engineering, design, social and business Today its academic profile includes architecture, civil engineering, interior architecture, communication design, media, computer science, social work, business, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, environmental engineering and mobility. The location counts: Wiesbaden offers a state-capital environment for government, finance, media, design, social services and construction, while Rüsselsheim is part of the Rhine-Main automotive, mobility, engineering and logistics economy.
The master file course portfolio includes 14 undergraduate and 13 postgraduate entries, with subject combinations grouped under their parent degrees where appropriate. Architecture, Civil Engineering, Interior Architecture, Media Management, Media Design, and Computer Science are examples of undergraduate programs. Electrical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, and Mobility Management are examples of graduate programs. Postgraduate studies: Architecture, Civil Engineering, Real Estate, Media and Design Management, Computer Science, Applied Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Management and Urban Planning. Specialisations are still entered in the course entry, not as if they were additional degrees. Each course is still a parent qualification. Dual, cooperative, part-time and practice-integrated variants are kept within the relevant parent qualification, rather than as unrelated degrees.
Admission is controlled at the program level. Depending on the pathway assigned for their qualification, applicants apply through the university'sCOMPASS process. Restricted courses may use Hochschulstart, foreign credentials may use uni-assist and design courses may require evidence of aptitude or a portfolio. Applicants are asked to check the language of instruction, admission semester, subject prerequisites, selection process, and document pathway before submitting. International School or University Qualifications External evaluation, certified translations, APS documentation where applicable or other proof of academic equivalence may be required. Master’s committees may ask for module descriptions, portfolios, writing samples, professional experience, or interviews. Entry to a doctorate is distinct from admission to a bachelors or masters degree and generally requires a viable research proposal, eligible supervision and formal acceptance by the relevant faculty.
Tuition for regular degree study is usually free. The cost for the winter 2026/27 semester is €396.91, which includes student-services and student-body fees, the Germany semester ticket, local mobility services, insurance and the Hessian administrative fee. Institutional charges exclude rent, health insurance, food, learning materials, residence formalities, project costs and personal travel. Special tuition may be applied in the case of continuing-education, distance-learning, joint, second-degree or long-term study formats, if provided for by the relevant law or program regulation. Funding may include BAföG for eligible students, the Deutschlandstipendium, DAAD and Erasmus+ mobility support, foundations, research employment or university-specific awards, but each funding application is assessed independently from admission.
Career preparation is not a guarantyd placement scheme, but does reflect the subject mix of the university. Employers in government, finance, automotive engineering, media, software, construction, consulting and social services in the Rhine-Main region support practical semesters, projects and theses. Students are able to develop professional readiness through internships, applied projects, research assistantships, employer events, language development, entrepreneurship services, international mobility and an externally partnered thesis. HSRM is for students who are interested in applied teaching, strong professional links, flexible ways of studying and research-based practice.
