Central and manageable
The department's Maxstraße location is right in the heart of Ludwigshafen. Thanks to its central location, good connections to local and long-distance public transport are ensured. With around 800 students, this branch of the Ludwigshafen University of Applied Sciences is also manageable and is characterized by short distances and constructive cooperation.
A location with tradition
The location has tradition: Teaching has been taking place here for almost 50 years. The department emerged from the former Protestant University of Applied Sciences and today offers non-denominational teaching and research.
