university of applied sciences Explanation: See KudoZ for many possibilities. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-12-05 17:17:45 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 6.3.1.3.1. Types of Fachhochschulen Fachhochschulen (universities of applied sciences) were introduced in 1970/71 as a new type of institution in the system of higher education in the Federal Republic of Germany. They fulfil their own specific educational function, characterised by a practice-oriented bias in the teaching, a usually integrated semester of practical training, and professors, who have, in addition to their academic qualifications, gained professional experience outside the field of higher education. In 1999, a relatively high proportion of them, 48 out of 182 Fachhochschulen, were not publicly maintained, but were to a large extent subject to the same legal provisions as state Fachhochschulen http://www.eurydice.org/Eurybase/Application/frameset.asp?co... |
