FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences: Admission Restriction - Numerus Clausus/NC (2026 /27)

FH Aachen

Established in 1971, FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences enrolls over 15,000 students across its two campuses in Aachen and Jülich. It is one of Germany's largest Fachhochschulen, offering programs in engineering, business administration, architecture, and design. Located in Aachen, a city of 250,000 residents at the western border of Germany where the countries of Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany meet, the university benefits from the technical industries of this tri-national region and its proximity to RWTH Aachen, one of Europe's leading technical universities. However, this also means competing for housing in a tight student market where rents average €400–550 for shared accommodations.
