Koblenz University of Applied Sciences (German: Hochschule Koblenz, formerly known as Fachhochschule Koblenz or FH Koblenz) is a public university in Rhineland-Palatinate. Although the present university was established in 1996, it has a rich tradition in higher education. The roots of today's Faculty of Materials Engineering, Glass and Ceramics in Hoehr‑Grenzhausen, come down to the 19th century.
The six faculties of University of Applied Sciences Koblenz currently offer more than 40 degree courses, including more than 30 bachelor degree courses and more than 10 master's degree courses. These figures are no more than a snapshot, since the offers are constantly adjusted to current demand trends. Some of the degree courses are offered as correspondence courses or integrated degree programs. As a result of the Bologna process, Hochschule Koblenz has completed the conversion to bachelor's and master's degree courses.
The university spans three campuses in three different cities, Koblenz, Remagen and Höhr-Grenzhausen.
The opening of the new campus complex in 2009 marked a major milestone in the history of RheinMoselCampus. On a building site of more than 4 acres, a total of 619 rooms (including 28 seminar rooms, 237 offices and a variety of lecture halls and laboratories with high-tech equipment and up-to-date facilities) were built. Today, this campus complex accommodates the Faculties of Architecture, Business Administration, Engineering and Social Science as well as the university administration. A dormitory and a day nursery run by Studierendenwerk Koblenz are also available on site.
The RheinMoselCampus, located in the residential area of Koblenz-Karthause (50°20′10″N 7°34′10″E / 50.33611°N 7.56944°E), accommodates the following university faculties:
