The buildings of the University of Applied Sciences extend from the bank of the Schwentine in the picture below to just before the forest and the power station in the north. The ship in the picture is a ferry that connects the University of Applied Sciences and the eastern location of the Geomar with the west bank .

The Kiel University of Applied Sciences is one of three universities in the state capital of Kiel . With more than 7,824 students (November 2018) it is the largest university of applied sciences and the second largest university in Schleswig-Holstein .

history

The Kiel University of Applied Sciences is one of the first three universities of applied sciences in Germany , along with Flensburg and Lübeck . It was merged on August 1, 1969 from several state engineering schools and higher technical schools. In 1974 the Muthesius Technical School for Design was attached to the technical college until it became independent in 1994.

After the departments of the University of Applied Sciences had been spread over various parts of Kiel for decades, there has been a new joint campus in the Neumühlen-Dietrichsdorf district of Kiel since 1998 at the old headquarters of Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft GmbH (HDW) . All departments are located here with the exception of agriculture, which is based in Osterrönfeld near Rendsburg, and construction , which is based in Eckernförde . With new dormitories, more and more students are now living in the immediate vicinity of the campus. The construction of a new library is planned for the next few years. The construction department was spun off from the Kiel University of Applied Sciences in the 2007/08 winter semester and integrated into the Lübeck University of Applied Sciences. At the end of 2017, two civil engineering courses returned to the Kiel University of Applied Sciences and are part of the Institute for Civil Engineering, which is part of the media department.

Central facilities

The Kiel University of Applied Sciences also houses eight central facilities, with different, mostly interdisciplinary tasks. These are the Institute for Interdisciplinary Gender Research and Diversity , the Institute for Continuing Education, the Studienkolleg , the Central Library, the Center for IT Services, the Center for Cultural and Scientific Communication, the Center for Learning and Teaching Development and the Center for Languages ​​and Intercultural Competence .

Locations

All departments apart from agriculture are located on the Neumühlen-Dietrichsdorf campus, which was built in 1998. The campus is part of a residential area. The FH buildings are therefore not all located directly next to each other, but rather separated from each other by residential buildings. The University of Applied Sciences has a total of 22 buildings here, the majority of which houses seminar rooms, laboratories and workshops for the individual departments. There is also a cafeteria, several cafeterias, a daycare center and three student dormitories.

The agricultural department is based in Osterrönfeld near Rendsburg. This is where the Lindenhof test field, an IT laboratory, an agricultural chemistry laboratory, a library and a cafeteria are located.

Course offer

A total of 37 courses are offered in the six departments. These are divided into 21 Bachelor and 16 Master courses. 14 of these are free of admission, the rest have a numerus clausus , where the average grade in the (technical) Abitur and the waiting time are decisive. A total of five online courses are offered in the mechanical engineering and economics departments. The range of courses at the Kiel University of Applied Sciences has become more and more diverse in recent years. As usual at universities of applied sciences, it has an application-oriented character and mostly a direct professional reference.

International

The courses are characterized by a strong international orientation, for example through language training integrated into the subject or a large student exchange. The IT and electrical engineering department also offers an English-language master's degree in Information Engineering.

The Kiel University of Applied Sciences maintains relationships with universities in over 30 countries, within which student exchanges and mutual recognition of academic achievements have been agreed. The International Office coordinates the approximately 80 collaborations within the framework of the Erasmus / Socrates program and is the central point of contact for foreign and German students and university members. In September 2016, 477 international students were enrolled at the Kiel University of Applied Sciences.

Arts and Culture

Culture and communication center "Bunker-D". On the roof is the work of art KUBUS BALANCE by HD Schrader .

In 1994, Minister of Culture Marianne Tidick the project Kunstlaboratorium launched, with the aim at the time still remaining under construction FH-campus public art to present. Finally, three works of art by Renate Anger, Ulrich Eller and Ludger Gerdes were installed on the campus. The University of Applied Sciences continued to expand this art collection and is now presenting 450 works of art on campus under the title CampusKunst-D , 300 of which can be found in public spaces.

Under the title Kulturinsel Dietrichsdorf , the University of Applied Sciences also maintains some cultural institutions on campus that are not only aimed at students, but also at interested people from the population. These include the media dome , the computer museum and the observatory . In 2006, work began on building a culture and communication center, the Bunker-D , in an old air raid shelter . Since 2014 there has been a café, a cinema and a gallery with constantly changing exhibitions in the building. In September 2015, the sculpture KUBUS BALANCE from 1990 by HD Schrader was installed on the roof of the bunker .

College magazines

The campus magazine has been published a lot since September 2010 . The magazine, published once a semester, reports on teaching, research, people and projects on the FH campus and beyond. In addition to employees from the Marketing and Communication department, students are also involved in editing.

The student magazine plietsch is a project of the media department. Participants in the corresponding compulsory elective module can deepen their knowledge of layout and editing while working on the magazine. In contrast to a lot. , which would like to appeal to a broad readership, plietsch is primarily aimed at students. The first issue appeared on April 23, 2015.

students life

Over time, the students at the University of Applied Sciences have launched a number of mostly interdisciplinary projects.

Campus RadioAktiv

The student radio Campus RadioAktiv was founded in October 2012 and broadcasts every Thursday from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and Monday to Friday from 12 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the Kiel Open Canal . The project comes from the Media Department, but is open to all students from the entire university.

Campus TV

Since 2008, students of the Multimedia Production and Public Relations and Corporate Communication courses in the Media Department have been creating television journalistic articles that are available on the University of Applied Sciences website. The videos have been published on Youtube since 2010 .

Northern Stars

NorthernStars University Robotics Group was founded in December 2011 in the Computer Science and Electrical Engineering department. It emerges from a project that robots developed for the mixed reality league of the RoboCup . The group oversees the department's robotics laboratory, where students can use various robots as well as a multi-touch table.

Raceyard

Since 2006, the University of Applied Sciences and the Raceyard racing team have participated in the German Formula Student Germany competition in Hockenheim and in international Formula SAE competitions . B. in Silverstone . The racing team was awarded the “Best Newcomer” in 2006 and the “Acceleration” award of Formula Student Germany in 2007. In 2009 the team was also successful and won the acceleration cup in Silverstone and in Hockenheim . Raceyard has only been building electric racing cars since 2011.

Baltic Thunder

The Baltic Thunder team has been taking part in Racing Aeolus in Den Helder , the Netherlands, since 2008 . Baltic Thunder has been competing in the race with two vehicles designed and built by the students since 2016.

TomKyle AUV team

In cooperation with the GEOMAR Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research Kiel , students in this group are developing Autonomous Underwater Vehicles , i.e. unmanned underwater vehicles that navigate independently. The project of the Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering has existed since January 2013.
