International Study Opportunities at HSWT
The growing international interconnectedness of our society can be experienced not only in academic and economic co-operation, but also in the classrooms of the HSWT: We offer students from different cultures and countries international study opportunities in the applied life sciences, and thus prepare them for a professional life that is not defined by national borders.
English-language degree programs
A core objective of Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences is the international transfer of knowledge and thus the preparation of students for globally orientated professional fields. Several English-taught degree programmes contribute to this and are open to professionally qualified prospective students from all over the world:
- Bachelor's degree programme in Applied Informatics
- Master's degree programme in Climate Change Management
- International Master of Landscape Architecture
- Master's degree programme in Farm Management
- Master's programme Digital Farming
- Master's programme Resilient Horticulture
- Master's programme Sustainable Regional Development
- International Environmental Engineering
German-language degree programs
For international students with an interest in Agricultural Management, HSWT offers the German-language Master's programme International Master in Agricultural Management at the Triesdorf campus.
Exchange Programmes for Incoming Students
Students from universities abroad can study at the HSWT as part of an exchange programme, e.g. Erasmus+ or SEMP, or as a Freemover and get to know the future-oriented green profile of the HSWT with exciting topics such as sustainable agriculture, environmental technologies and climate protection.
Incoming exchange students who are enthusiastic about green topics can take individual modules in one of the many degree programmes or participate in one of several English-taught programmes for exchange students. If you enjoy learning in an international environment and are interested in Germany and its culture, then you are very welcome!
