Wedel University of Applied Sciences (FH Wedel) Summary
The Wedel University of Applied Sciences (Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften Wedel in German) is a private university of applied sciences in Wedel, Schleswig-Holstein. FH Wedel's roots in applied technical education go back to the 1940s and its first higher education program in Technical Computer Science was launched in 1969; today it is a non-profit, state-recognized university of technology and business. Its academic profile today focuses on computer science, data science, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, games, media informatics, e-commerce, engineering, business administration, business psychology and industrial engineering. Its Wedel campus is located in the Hamburg metropolitan region and provides students with access to employers in the software, aviation, logistics, manufacturing, commerce, media and startup sectors.
This master file is the course portfolio and comprises 8 undergraduate and 5 postgraduate entries. The undergraduate studies are in Computer Science, Data Science & Artificial Intelligence, Computer Games Technology, IT Security, Media Informatics, E-Commerce, Industrial Engineering, Applied Business Psychology & Data Analytics. Options for postgraduate studies include IT Engineering, E-Commerce, Industrial Engineering, Data Science & Artificial Intelligence and Sustainable & Digital Business Management. Each entry maintains the official parent qualification and puts places pathways or concentrations within the specialisation field instead of blowing them up into separate degrees. Where the institution does not independently award doctorates, this record only documents credible cooperative doctoral research routes and states that formal admission is with a doctoral-awarding partner.
FH Wedel has a direct applicant portal and generally admits eligible applicants without an NC. Master programs may have a selection review process. Many courses have published deadlines of September 15 and March 31. Please take note that the exact intake, teaching language, academic prerequisites, selection method, and document route for applicants can be found on the current program page before applying. International certificates may require certified translations, proof of equivalency, APS documentation for relevant countries or other language proof. Master’s committees may require module descriptions, credit details, professional experience, a portfolio, a motivation statement or an interview. The admission to doctoral studies differs from the enrolment to bachelor’s or master’s studies, depending on an appropriate topic, supervision, funding, and formal acceptance at the university awarding the degree.
The current tuition for full-time is generally €2,730 per semester, with payment from the second semester as monthly installments of €455. Examples of non-EU master’s can be higher. A transport pass is separate. Tuition fees normally do not include accommodation, food, health insurance, residence procedures, private travel and optional project costs. Applicants will be subject to the live fee schedule and signed study contract. Funding may be BAföG for eligible students, the Deutschlandstipendium where available, DAAD or Erasmus+ mobility funding, foundations, employer sponsorship, education funds, or paid research and student-assistant work; all awards are individually assessed separate from admission.
The career preparation is orientated to the Hamburg metropolitan region labour market of technology, trade, engineering, media and logistics and is not a promise of placement service. Laboratory work, software and engineering projects, dual phases with employers, internships, partner scholarships, company theses and the Master+ model increase students’ employability. Alumni and professional networks can offer mentoring, sector insight and contacts, but each student is responsible for applications and career decisions. The institution is particularly well-suited for applicants looking for a small university campus with a solid basis in quantitative education and strong ties to industry, and flexible full-time, part-time, dual, and hybrid study options provided their prior education, proof of language proficiency, study format, and funding meet the current program requirements.
