The National Theatre Cottbus and the Neue Bühne Senftenberg (German for New Stage) enjoy an excellent reputation.

The special attribute of our University of Applied Sciences lies in the alliance of scientific and technical fields with study courses of business economics, social affairs, and music pedagogics.

Our identity: We do not rely on mass; we rely on high quality premium education and research. We will go on expanding our position as an economic factor of Lausitz. This is for what our teaching staff, our University of Applied Sciences, and finally yet importantly, our students and postgraduates stand for.

The currently available study courses at the University of Applied Sciences guarantee a solid basic education and transmission of applicable knowledge, and a high ratio of laboratory tutorial training units. The optimisation of the available study courses is continuously carried out through the consequent pursuit and implementation of the Bologna Process. Regular course evaluations by the students lead to a selective improvement of the educational quality. The students particularly positively evaluated the personal supervision by the tutors.

The basics‘ study of all sciences establishes the fundament for the transmission of a wide standard of knowledge, amplified in the practice of the following semesters in the respective special areas – including practice periods abroad. The feedback from the students‘ internships demonstrates that our adopted course has proved itself, and that the companies and the postgraduates appreciate it. Students from different areas of studies form project groups and participate regularly in tenders. Due to the practice-orientated education-structure, students have to deal continuously with real scopes and gain this way an advantage in competition for their future working life.

Besides the specialised knowledge and its application in the practice, our University of Applied Sciences transmits the exceedingly important soft skills for the future employment.
