University of Applied Sciences Bingen

What University of Applied Sciences Bingen does

Technische Hochschule Bingen (TH Bingen, University of Applied Sciences Bingen) is a state-recognized Fachhochschule located in Bingen am Rhein, Germany, operating as a Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts under the governance of Land Rheinland-Pfalz. Founded in 1897, the institution delivers practice-oriented bachelor's, master's, and dual-study programs concentrated in engineering and natural sciences across two Bingen locations: the main campus at Berlinstraße 109 in the Büdesheim district and the Hermann-Hoepke-Technikum (HHT) technical/laboratory facility at Rochusallee 4. Its core academic product is a portfolio of German-taught degree programs with select English-language master's offerings, and it operates an in-house digital stack including the inCampo enrollment portal (QIS Server), OLAT learning management system, Shibboleth single sign-on via DFN, Microsoft Teams and BigBlueButton for conferencing, and the TH Bingen mobile app delivering the digital student ID, library barcode, and semester ticket.

The business model is non-commercial: as a public university it charges no tuition for most programs, generates revenue through state block funding from the Ministry for Science and Health of Rheinland-Palatinate (MWG), per-semester student contributions (covering student services and a public-transport semester ticket), and externally funded research and transfer projects. It serves three customer segments — domestic German students (primary), international students (Erasmus+ exchange and degree-seeking via partner universities), and partner universities themselves — and reaches them through a community-led GTM motion combining school MINT outreach (BioTeCh Science Lab), education-fair participation, social media, and a dedicated International Office.

Internationally, the institution holds the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE 2021-2027) and operates 40+ European Erasmus+ partnerships, plus bilateral double-degree programs with Tongji University (via the CDHAW consortium of 26 German universities) and Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM) under the mdHk framework; international students and staff represent more than 40 nationalities. Applied-research and technology-transfer activity is consolidated under the Hermann-Hoepke Institut, the THinkTank, the Innovationsfluss Nahe regional network, and the jointly-controlled Biotechnologie-Akademie RLP subsidiary. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
