A University of Applied Sciences offers a number of higher education programmes with practical and vocational orientation. Students learn the basics, take part in projects, write a thesis, often in co-operation with companies or external organisations, and graduate with an academic degree. As trained professionals, a high percentage of the graduates then go on to careers in middle and higher management due to their having already acquired hands-on experience in the workplace through a mandatory job placement.
