Kehl University of Applied Sciences: List of all Master programs (2026/27)

Hochschule für öffentliche Verwaltung Kehl (Kehl University of Applied Sciences), founded in 1971, is a specialized public Fachhochschule with approximately 1,400 students focusing exclusively on public administration and management education in Kehl, Baden-Württemberg, directly on the French border. This niche institution offers Bachelor of Arts in Public Management and Master of Arts in European Administrative Management, primarily training civil servants and administrative professionals for Baden-Württemberg's public sector, with many students already employed by government agencies attending as part of their professional qualification. Located in Kehl (36,000 residents) across the Rhine from Strasbourg, the university benefits from its border location for European administrative studies, though the small town offers limited amenities beyond the campus with most cultural activities requiring the 15-minute tram ride to Strasbourg. Programs operate primarily in German requiring C1-C2 proficiency essential for public administration careers, with curriculum combining theoretical public law, administrative science, and economics with mandatory practical phases in government offices, following the dual model typical of German civil service training.
