UAS7

Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS) were established in the early 1970s to help German industries maintain their international competitiveness. With their new approach they put higher education on a solid academic footing based on practice-oriented education and -increasingly- applied research.{{Citation|title=Fachhochschule|date=2020-02-10|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fachhochschule&oldid=940003040|work=Wikipedia|language=en|access-date=2020-04-24}}

Universities of applied sciences differ from other universities by preparing students through application-oriented and interdisciplinary instruction. Although research is becoming increasingly important to UAS, teaching and practical experiences in non-academic settings are very important parts of the education. Their objective is to enable graduates to apply systematic theoretical and rigorously methods-based knowledge to resolve practical problems flexibly. This enables UAS graduates to integrate quickly into the business environment after graduation and thus provides them with a strong competitive edge for their future careers.{{Cite web|url=https://www.uas7.org/en/about-uas7/about-universities-applied-sciences|title=About Universities of Applied Sciences {{!}} UAS7|website=www.uas7.org|access-date=2020-04-24}}
