Witten/Herdecke University

The University of Witten/Herdecke, officially known as Universität Witten/Herdecke (UW/H), is a private, state-recognised, non-profit university founded in 1982. With more than 3,700 students, it is one of the few private universities in Germany considered prestigious. Located in the city of Witten, within one of Europe's largest metropolitan regions, the university offers the best of both worlds: access to the cultural, economic, and academic opportunities of the Ruhr area while providing a peaceful campus setting surrounded by nature. 

It offers a wide range of academic programmes, with particular emphasis on management, economics, politics, society, psychology, nursing, medicine and dentistry.
