Münster University of Applied Sciences was founded in 1 August 1971 after the merger of public and private schools of construction and engineering and vocational training institutions.
Over the years, Münster University of Applied Sciences has evolved into a practice-oriented, international and interdisciplinary university of applied sciences. Teaching staff and students contribute equally to the successful transfer of scientific findings to practice. This pays off: our establishment is now one of Germany’s largest and most successful universities of applied sciences.
