Aalen University

Back in 1963, when Aalen University of Applied Sciences (Aalen UAS) was first established, around 5 to 6 percent of a school year in Germany went on to study at university. Today, it’s 54 percent. This increase is significant and one of today’s challenges. As a regional university, Aalen UAS educates the highly qualified specialists who are crucial to local companies. An important aspect is that the study programmes are tailored to the requirements and trends of the region.

From digital networking, health, and e-mobility to renewable energies, photonics or robotics – we care about future technologies. For many years, Aalen UAS has been one of the most research-extensive universities of applied sciences in Germany. Researcher teams contribute to areas such as IT security and biomedicine for cancer research, study super magnets to extend the service life of lithium-ion batteries in electric cars, work on resource-oriented energy concepts and forward autonomous driving and industry 4.0.
