The Ansbach University of Applied Sciences (German: Hochschule Ansbach) was founded in 1996 and counts approximately 1,800 students (2008). It belongs to the newest Universities of Applied Sciences of the Free State of Bavaria. The percentage of foreign students is about 6 percent. As of 2010 there are 2,300 students.

In the 18th century, a barrack was built by the margraves master builder. Around the start of the 20th century, the barrack has been replaced by the Hindenburg-Barrack, the today's red-brick building. At first this building was used by the German Reichswehr and Wehrmacht until the end of World War II in 1945. The US-Army used it for almost a half century until 1992 when the US-Administration gave it to the Free State of Bavaria.
