What Hochschule Flensburg does

Hochschule Flensburg is a public University of Applied Sciences (Fachhochschule) in Flensburg, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, founded in 1852. It delivers practice-oriented higher education across three faculties — Maritime Studies, Mechanical Engineering, Energy & Sustainability; Computer Science & Design; and Business, Health & Life Sciences — and currently offers 14 Bachelor programs and 9 Master programs. Core academic operations run on a standard German university information systems stack: HISinOne for applications, enrollment, and student administration; Stud.IP and Moodle for learning management; FlexNow for exam registration and grading; WebEx for virtual instruction; and a VPN for remote access. Support infrastructure includes the Learning and Language Center (LSZ), the IDEENREICH FabLab makerspace, Info Point, Student Counseling, and CampusCompass.

The institution is state-funded by Schleswig-Holstein and does not charge tuition to EU students; student-paid semester contributions (~392 EUR per term) cover Studentenwerk services, the AStA student government, the Deutschlandticket Semesterticket, and administrative costs, plus a one-time 80 EUR enrollment processing fee. GTM is direct-to-consumer via the HISinOne portal, study fairs, school outreach, TOP Week orientation, and an International Office handling inbound exchange and international degree applicants through uni-assist. The university's customer base is thousands of individual students, with a secondary stakeholder layer of regional employers (ENERTRAG, Semikron Danfoss, Bilfinger, Schleswig-Holstein Netz, GP JOULE, Atec Pharmatechnik, Wulff & Umag) participating in dual-education programs, and a partnership network of more than 60 international universities for student mobility. A cooperative dual-degree in Sustainable Energy is delivered jointly with neighboring Europa-Universität Flensburg.
