Best career prospects and large network

Witten/Herdecke University is one of the top universities in Germany. Not only attractive employers have recognised this. The 1st private university in Germany regularly occupies top positions in the relevant rankings and surveys of students and graduates. With us, you will also make contacts with a future: build up a network in business, politics or the healthcare sector with our help.

Studying without an NC? It's possible!

Good news: Good news: At UW/H, A-level grades are not at the centre of the allocation of study places. This is because our degree programmes are 100% state-recognised - and still NC-free. Because with us you are human and not a numerus.

Study first, then pay back: Our ISA

The Income Share Agreement (ISA) makes it possible: you can study with us first and pay back your tuition fees later depending on your income. Because studying should have no financial limits.
