The HAWK is a state university in Lower Saxony with more than 6,000 students. The university is regionally anchored and has excellent national and international networks. One basis for this is certainly its roots, which go back for example to the 19th century at the location in Holzminden. Since its official foundation as a university of applied sciences in 1971, the HAWK has always kept up with the times. A good example is the university's 39 courses of study. Their content, practical relevance and teaching methods reflect what is expected in the professions today and in the future. In addition to the classic full-time degree programmes with Bachelor's and Master's degrees, part-time and dual degree programmes as well as continuing education programmes have established themselves. Lifelong learning is therefore not just a goal, but remains a lived practice. The special features of the HAWK are its three high-performance locations in Lower Saxony, its lively interdisciplinarity and its familiar atmosphere.
