About the PFH Private University of Applied Sciences

PFH Private University of Applied Sciences was recognised by the Lower Saxony Ministry of Science and Culture in 1995, which means that it is Lower Saxony's oldest private, state-recognised university. The incentive for its foundation was the idea of providing fresh impetus in the fields of science and teaching with a purely privately funded university that offers a study programme aligned to the real needs of the economy.

The state-recognised PFH, which is reaccredited by the Science Council, is a private university that focuses on entrepreneurial thinking. There are two campus locations, Göttingen and Stade, as well as numerous distance learning centres across Germany and Austria.
