Describe your business model (including type of company, products / services)
Technische Hochschule Wildau was founded on 22 October 1991 as Technische Fachhochschule Wildau. Built on the site of a former railway factory, it still has a technical tradition with a strong application-oriented focus. It is currently the largest university of applied sciences in the state of Brandenburg with around 3,500 students; compared to the rest of Germany, it is one of the smaller universities in Germany with mainly regional roots and visibility. The two faculties of Engineering and Natural Sciences (INW) and Business, Informatics, Law (WIR) currently offer 31 practice-oriented Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes. They are assigned to natural science, engineering, business administration, law and administration and management disciplines and are offered as full-time studies or as dual or part-time studies. TH Wildau is characterised by short decision-making processes and close cooperation between the President's Office, the faculties and the administration. With its pronounced research orientation and an above-average volume of third-party funding, the university is represented in the research map of the German Rectors' Conference with its three main research areas - Applied Biosciences, Computer Science/Telematics and Optical Technologies/Photonics. Other research fields are production and materials, transport and logistics as well as management and law. Other strengths of the TH Wildau include excellent spatial and technical facilities and the promotion of cooperative learning and working environments. Thinking and acting at the university are characterised by a cosmopolitan attitude. Due to its closeness to the federal capital Berlin, Wildau is well connected to the industry networks. The charming surroundings provide quality of life in Brandenburg's lake and heathland landscape.
