Applied Research during Your Studies

Aschaffenburg UAS is characterized by our particular strength in applied research. Our students benefit from this in several ways: cutting-edge, practice-oriented teaching content and numerous opportunities to actively participate in applied research and deepen their knowledge early on in their studies.

By participating in research and transfer projects, our students can also establish initial contacts with companies and in turn possible future employers. We provide oppertunities for our students to participate in scientific work from the very beginning in all of our research areas. This allows them to gain valuable initial research experience from the start of their studies, which can be useful for their future careers.
