history
The Wedel University of Applied Sciences has been a family business for three generations: Founded in 1969 by Helmut Harms, his son Dirk Harms took over the management of the university in 1977. In 2010, Eike Harms, the founder's grandson, became university president and is still in charge of the university today (as of November 2018).
The history of the university goes back to 1969. At that time, the PTL Wedel Technical College became the Wedel University of Applied Sciences and laid the foundation for the education of students at university level. However, the educational establishment was retained and still functions as a partner institution today.
The first course at the FH Wedel was technical informatics , followed in 1979 by the course in business informatics . Over the years, not only have new buildings been built and a non-profit company as a private sponsor and a development association founded, but also study abroad and dual studies have been introduced, and a number of new courses have been launched:
- In 1991 the graduate degree in industrial engineering was introduced
- from 1997 a degree in media informatics was made possible
- from 2000 onwards the master's degree in computer science was offered
- Business administration followed in 2003
