Map of Europe in which the cities of h_da's EUt+ partners are marked

European University of Technology

Hochschule Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences is a member of the network EUt+ (European University of Technology), which started work in 2020 as part of  the European Universities Initiative (initiated by the European Commission).

h_da was one of only two German universities of Applied Sciences being successful in this call. The aim of the Europe-wide initiative with in total 41 universities is to grow together to form one connected and inclusive European University on different campuses, where students, teachers and staff can exchange ideas and move more freely.

The alliance EUt+ is formed by nine universities, each with a focus on (but not restricted to) technology. The common goal is to take a multi-faceted approach on technology with its pivotal role in forging an inclusive and sustainable future. Our motto is „Think Human first“.

FAQ EUt+ für Studierende der h_da

The basic idea is to create a European university spread across nine different campuses under the common motto "Think Human First". In particular, technological developments and innovations should always focus on people and the environment and consider the social impact as well.

This means that students can study at the eight other partner universities without having to search for equivalent subject areas, and not just in technical subjects. It is also possible to pursue a specialization that may not be offered at h_da.

The aim is to create a diverse online offering so that students can enrol in the various courses at the seven partner universities. As the project allows students to get to know the European perspective of a subject, this also increases their job opportunities on the labor market (including outside Germany).

All credits from abroad are to be recognized more quickly and easily, as long application procedures are no longer necessary. At some point, it should be possible to exchange ideas and work together with other European students in so-called "networked labs". There will also be new, innovative doctoral opportunities.
