Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences: Application Deadlines for English-taught programs (2026/27)

Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences, founded in 1991, is a public Hochschule with approximately 5,500 students split between campuses in Magdeburg (235,000 residents), Saxony-Anhalt's capital, and Stendal (40,000 residents), a small town 55 kilometers north. This regional university offers bachelor's and master's programs in engineering, business administration, social sciences, media design, health sciences, and distinctive specializations including Childhood Studies, Sign Language Interpreting, and Safety and Hazard Prevention rarely found at other German universities. The dual-campus structure divides programs—Magdeburg hosts engineering, water management, and design near the historic cathedral and Elbe River, while Stendal focuses on social sciences and applied human sciences in a quiet small-town setting with extremely low living costs around €450-600 monthly. Programs operate primarily in German requiring B2-C1 proficiency for most degrees, though the English-taught Master in Sustainable Resources, Engineering and Management (StREaM) and Water Engineering double degree with Universidad de La Coruña attract international students to this otherwise regional institution.
