  • TRIER UNIVERSITY of APPLIED SCIENCES Boundless
    BACHELOR AND MASTER PROGRAMMES – TRIER UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES boundless. vibrant. visionary. Dear prospective international students, about 7,600 young people study and research at our locations in Trier, Idar-Oberstein, and at the Environmental Campus Birken- feld. This makes us the second biggest University of Applied Sciences in Rhineland-Palatinate. Situated in Trier, our Main Campus Schneidershof, overlooks the historic city from the steep banks of the river Moselle. Additionally, the Campus of Art and Design with its locations Irminenfreihof and Paulusplatz lies in the heart of Trier city. Though Trier is Germany’s oldest city, it presents itself as young and vibrant due to its universities’ attraction for students. According to a research study, no other city in Rhineland-Palat- inate is home to such a large number of young people as Trier. The population’s average age is 40 years. Especially young people enjoy a great variety of cultural and sporting events as well as gastronomic delights. The Environmental Campus Birkenfeld creates fascination. With its innovative zero-emission concept the campus is a role model for the sustainable development of a conversion area – in this capacity its influence reaches far beyond the borders of Rhine- land-Palatinate. Germany’s greenest campus has pursued an ecological concept without compromise from its start. Our locations in the south-west of Germany offer ideal condi- tions for academic study and great career options due to their international context and a multitude of job opportunities also in the neighbouring countries Luxembourg, France, and Belgium. Students acquire extensive experience and professional practice due to TUAS’s (Trier University of Applied Sciences) practice oriented scientific education, supervised projects, prac- tical study phases, as well as study semesters abroad.
