Mainz University of Applied Sciences is a young university. It has been independent since 1996 and has been identified in its logo as a "University of Applied Sciences" since 1999. But the origins go all the way back to 1757, the year in which the elector of Mainz decided to found an academy of painting and sculpture.
In our three schools of Design, Engineering and Business, we offer a solid foundation of knowledge for optimum professional development - with a wide range of specialization options and scope for interdisciplinary cooperation. We maintain excellent contacts within the regional economy and to public institutions and are networked with more than 500 companies in the Rhine-Main metropolitan region.

I am studying at a University where we have lectures with about 30 students. I really like the fact that we are not only taught theoretical knowledge, but also application-oriented knowledge. I feel better prepared for the future. Our professors are very open-minded and we work a lot with current and future topics. There are of course some lectures which can be improoved...
I would recommend this university. Because if you want to improve about everthing, you can do it here :)
The courses were very beneficial and the teaching was very practical and interesting methodology.
