Mittelhessen University of Applied Sciences is a public institution in Friedberg and Giessen offering practical education in engineering, business administration, and computer science. The campus is compact and walkable, with modern classrooms, laboratories, and workshops where students develop skills through hands-on experience.
The university traces its roots to a technical drawing school founded in Giessen in 1838 to train craftsmen in blueprint reading. The Giessen and Friedberg locations merged in 1971 to form the current institution, with the Friedberg site operating as a trade school since 1901.
