The Rottenburg University of Applied Forest Sciences (German: Hochschule für Forstwirtschaft Rottenburg) is a public university of applied sciences, located in Rottenburg am Neckar, Baden-Württemberg. Rottenburg University of Applied Forest Sciences is a small green university for forestry, wood, renewable energy, water, sustainable regional management and resource-efficient construction. Its institutional development includes 1954 - establishment of the forestry school in Rottenburg. The institution adjusted itself to train specialists for practical forest management. Today, its academic profile is determined by forestry, wood management and technology, renewable energy, water resource management, sustainable regional development, resource-efficient building, biodiversity and land use. The location is important, the wooded campus near Rottenburg and Tübingen offers direct access to a teaching forest, rural communities, environmental agencies, forestry enterprises, wood industries, utilities and sustainability networks. The course portfolio presented in this master file comprises of 5 undergraduate and 3 postgraduate entries. Subject combinations have been grouped under their parent degrees where applicable. Examples for undergraduates are Renewable Energies, Forest Management, Wood Management and Technology, Sustainable Regional Management, Water Resource Management, and later entries are Wood Management and Technology, Sustainable Regional Management, Water Resource Management. Forest Management Resource Efficient Building Sustainable Energy Competence Post-graduate Education. Each course is still counted as a parent qualification, and specialisations are recorded in the course entry, not misrepresented as separate degrees. The official portfolio is intentionally small, with programs kept as full parent qualifications and their specialisations in forestry, wood, energy, water, construction and regional retained within those entries. Admission is on a program-to-program basis. Applicants use the HFR online process and must meet the requirements of the selected program, for example qualification, German or English evidence, evaluation of foreign certificates, internship, deadline and master’s subject. Applicants need to check the language of teaching, entry semester, subject prerequisites, selection procedure and document route before submission. 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 require module descriptions, portfolios, writing samples, professional experience or interviews. Entry to a doctorate is independent of the admission process for bachelor or masters degrees and, normally, requires a viable research proposal, eligible supervision and formal acceptance by the relevant faculty. Most EU and EEA students do not pay general tuition. Under the law of Baden-Württemberg, non-EU students generally pay €1,500 per semester plus the semester contribution stated in the current enrolment notice; exchange and legal exemptions can apply. These institutional charges do not cover rent, health insurance, food, learning materials, residence formalities, project costs and personal travel. If provided for by the relevant law or program regulation, special tuition may be provided for continuing-education, distance-learning, joint, second-degree, or long-term study formats. Funding (e.g. BAföG for eligible students, Deutschlandstipendium, DAAD and Erasmus+ mobility support, foundations, research employment or university-specific awards) is available, but each funding application is evaluated separately from admission. The subject mix of the university is a reflection of career preparation, and not a guarantyd placement scheme. Fieldwork, laboratories, practical semesters and projects with partners in the forestry, timber, energy, water, construction, planning and environmental sectors support careers. Internships, applied projects, research assistantships, employer events, language development, entrepreneurship services, international mobility, and externally partnered thesis can all increase students’ professional readiness. HFR is especially appropriate for students interested in intensive, field-based study of forests, renewable resources, water, wood, energy or sustainable regional development.
