Events & activities around your study orientation
In addition to our student advisory services, we offer you numerous other opportunities to get to know our university better. At our Campus Days, you will visit your future university campus, talk to professors and students on site and get to know our partner companies. We bring a similar program live and in color to your home with the Virtual Campus Days. If you want to get a real taste of university life before you start your studies and experience the everyday life of an FHDW student up close, then our taster lectures are just the thing for you! Of course, you also always have the chance to talk to our students and alumni about their experiences during their studies. You should therefore not miss out on events such as our Student Talks or Meet the Students.
We make it extra easy for you to find a work placement!
In the dual Bachelor’s degree program, you decide on the design of your practical phases: Spend your entire course at a fixed company or gain experience in different companies. No matter what you choose, we will support you in your search in our large network of companies.
Application training, career advice & much more
Your studies, successful career entry or next career step are our focus. That’s why you get our full support – exactly where you need it! Even before you start your studies, you can take advantage of offers such as application training or an application portfolio check. With our help, no one can fool you when it comes to finding a work placement and applying. We also care about your development during your studies. That’s why we offer you – in addition to your studies – a wide range of seminars to help you discover and develop your personal and professional potential. And regardless of whether you are a prospective student, applicant or student, we always have an open ear for your questions about studying and careers in our consultations.
We are also at your side during your studies!
Of course, you can contact us with your concerns at any time after starting your studies. Would you like to arrange a consultation, find out about your further education options or have cool ideas for campus life? Then you’ve come to the right place. Feel free to send us an email, call us or simply drop by our office before or after your lecture.
Your Career Service
Advice for students with disabilities and/or chronic illnesses or social counseling

Social counseling
The FHDW also offers its students support with personal questions and difficult personal situations. If you would like a personal interview, please make an appointment with Mr. Klein.
Advice for students with disabilities and/or chronic illnesses
People with disabilities and chronic illnesses may be dependent on special study conditions. So-called compensation for disadvantages is intended to compensate for disadvantages during studies.
Compensation for disadvantages must always be agreed individually with the university. They are intended to ensure that students can complete their studies according to their own abilities. This does not make studying easier or give them an advantage over non-disabled students. Which compensation for disadvantages is appropriate can be clarified in a personal interview.
If you would like a personal interview, please make an appointment with Mr. Klein.
