At the beginning of May, “Die Zeit” newspaper published the latest results of the CHE ranking of universities: Landshut University of Applied Sciences once again made it into the top group of universities in Germany and Bavaria.
This year, the CHE University Ranking examined courses of study in Computer Science. Landshut University of Applied Sciences achieved excellent results in terms of both the students’ ratings and the facts on teaching and research, and has been rated very highly in comparison with other universities in Germany.
University of Applied Sciences performs very well in numerous categories
The organisation of the studies as well as the equipment available in the classrooms and the library were rated positively. In the fields of “sufficient study time”, “support for new students” and “contacts with the world of work”, the course in Computer Science at Landshut University of Applied Sciences ranks among the best in Germany for both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. An overview of all results as well as detailed information on the study programme is available at

Support for all students
For Prof. Dr. Dieter Nazareth, Dean of the Faculty of Computer Science, the results of the CHE ranking are confirmation of the high quality of the research and teaching in the area of computer science: “Our professors are dedicated to giving our students the best possible support with the future use of their skills in the world of work.” The courses available at the faculty are to be expanded even further for the winter semester. “With the degree course in Artificial Intelligence, we are creating new potential at Landshut University of Applied Sciences for the rapid developments in the area of digitalisation,” explained Nazareth.
University President Prof. Dr. Fritz Pörnbacher was also pleased about the great results of the Faculty of Computer Science, which he above all else attributes to the hard work of the teaching staff at Landshut University of Applied Sciences: “We attribute considerable importance to providing our students with intensive support. This has become even more important during the coronavirus pandemic. We are excellently positioned digitally, and are therefore in a position to provide all our students with the best possible support during the current digital semester.”
The application phase for all courses of study with open admissions at Landshut University of Applied Sciences is currently under way, including Computer Sciences. All the information regarding applications is available at
The Centre for Higher Education Development surveyed approximately 120,000 students for the CHE ranking. More than 300 universities and universities of applied sciences (HAWs) as well as dual universities and universities of cooperative education were assessed. The CHE university ranking is therefore the most comprehensive and detailed comparison of universities in the German-speaking world. In addition to facts about courses of study, examinations, teaching and research, the ranking also includes assessments by students about the conditions of study and support in various areas at their university. This includes, for example, job market preparation, academic and practical relevance, teaching facilities, library facilities and IT infrastructure.
