Studying for practice, researching for the future and networking for life. At the West Saxon University of Applied Sciences Zwickau (WHZ), this is not just an empty slogan, but part of everyday student life. For you, studying at WHZ means research in modern laboratories, practice-oriented learning in projects and international cooperation characterized by a family atmosphere.

We start where your talent lies. Based on a wide range of courses in the fields of technology, vehicles and transport, digitalization, natural sciences, economics, health, languages and applied arts, we will work with you on the path to your future. We also offer a few truly unique courses – for example, sign language interpreting and musical instrument making.

Internship phases are integrated into all degree courses, during which you can gain valuable experience in companies at home and abroad and make important contacts. Would you like to spend a semester abroad? Many different initiatives make it possible for you to study in a place where you and your ideas can be put to the test.

At our locations in Zwickau, Schneeberg and Markneukirchen, you will experience optimal study conditions. In your free time, you can get involved in our exciting student initiatives. Work together with world champions and become part of the WHZ Racing Team or join the growing eSports community and take our WireHeadz games hub to the next level.
