Academics

Since 2007 the university has been restructured and has now 3 faculties reflecting the three subjects in its name: technology, business and design:

  • Faculty of Engineering (Mechanical, Process and Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electronics and Multimedia Engineering, Maritime Studies)
  • Faculty of Business (Business Administration, Business Law, Business Informatics) also called Wismar Business School
  • Faculty of Design (Design, Architecture, Interior Architecture, Communication Design)

The university offers more than 50 courses, including distance learning courses via its subsidiary WINGS-university. Some courses in Maritime Studies are offered in cooperation with the European Cruise Academy. Most courses lead to a bachelor's degree after 3-3.5 years or a master's degree after another 1.5-2 years. Students with a master's degree (5 years of study) qualify for pursuing a PhD.
