Today, there are few reminders of the past mining era - knowledge is now extracted here.
The buildings, a "monument of regional industrial culture", were converted and restored at great expense in the early 1990s. The result is a spacious campus site with state-of-the-art facilities in the midst of scenic surroundings.
Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences offers an exciting portfolio of degree courses at the Salzgitter campus. When the campus was founded in 1993, courses in logistics and transport were established. With many practical partners and cooperations, a high degree of practical relevance is not only made possible in these courses.
With the sports and tourism management courses and the city and regional management course, another highly sought-after subject area was soon added. Here, too, practical relevance is a top priority with excursions, company collaborations and student-organized conferences.
With one of the most modern and energy-efficient university buildings in the state of Lower Saxony, the faculty's media courses offer the best conditions for excellent teaching in theory and practice. Modern TV studios, audio studios, computer laboratories, editing rooms and much more make it possible to train students at the highest level.
The range of courses on offer is becoming increasingly diverse, particularly in the media sector. Bachelor's degree courses in media management, media communication and media design as well as Master's degree courses in communication management and media design are currently available.
It should come as no surprise that the young, practice-oriented Salzgitter Campus is constantly reinventing itself. New courses geared towards economic needs are already being planned.
Of course, the faculty also offers lifelong learning opportunities. Studying and working can easily be combined in continuing education courses and certificate courses in the fields of sustainability, sales, urban marketing and innovation.
