The roots of University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt goes back to 1876] along with Technische Universität Darmstadt (the first electrical engineering chair and inventions fame), when both these Universities were an integrated entities, a need for a separate industry-based research educational institution was felt in the early 1930s, finally University of Applied sciences emerged as a separate industry-based research educational institution in 1971 and is the largest University of Applied Sciences in Hesse (German: Hessen) with about 11,000 students.
In 1971 when Hochschule Darmstadt was established, other regions of the Hesse also felt the need for such industry-based educational institutions. In later years a heavy number of Hochschule were established all across Germany. As a result of this, today the German industry’s engineering workforce is propelled by students of the Hochschule.
