Hochschule Pforzheim University dates back to 1877 when the School of Design was founded. The School of Business, established in 1963, merged with the School of Design and the newly created School of Engineering in 1992 to form Hochschule Pforzheim.

Today the University has more than 5,000 students and 145 professors, and it is the third largest university of applied sciences in the State of Baden-Württemberg - and one of the biggest in Germany.

Pforzheim offers a large number of Bachelor's and Master's degree programs, all of which emphasize interdisciplinary thinking and cooperation among faculty, economists, lawyers, engineers, designers and experts from various sectors.

Our school is characterized by the high academic qualifications and practical experience of our faculty, as well as by the intensive cooperation with the surrounding business community and beyond, giving our students a unique study experience.
