The Jena University of Applied Sciences was founded on 1 October 1991 as one of the first institutions of higher education of its kind in the new laender. Short periods of studying and a practical orientation complement the education at traditional universities and technical universities perfectly well. Currently, the eight departments of the Jena University of Applied Sciences offer 36 Bachelor and Master programs. 4,901 students are registered.
Intensive course periods and optimal organization characterize studying at the UAS Jena.
With references to a scientifically profound and practically oriented education the university cooperates with universities in Europe and beyond. The collaboration with the industry also merits careful attention: Zeiss, Jenoptik, Siemens, IBM, and the industrial research institutions in Jena represent modern technology, up-to-date management and scientific innovation. Most university diploma theses are written in cooperation with the industry. This principle guarantees a constant modification of the course programs to meet the needs of the future graduates.
