What does FHM offer in Waldshut?

Waldshut-Tiengen: Health studies in the green southern Black Forest

FHM in Waldshut primarily targets students from the Upper Rhine region and neighbouring Switzerland. Around 5 programmes in health and management are available. Admission is NC-free through the university's own selection process.

The main advantage is very small study groups and close contact with lecturers. However, this is not a traditional campus – student life takes place mostly in private settings or in nearby cities.

What does student life cost in Waldshut?

Living in Waldshut-Tiengen is relatively moderate for Baden-Württemberg. A shared flat room costs around €380 per month on average. The cost of living index is 62 (Numbeo). However, public transport connections are limited – a bicycle or car may be necessary.

What alternatives exist in the region?

Freiburg (around 90 minutes by train) offers private programmes at Macromedia University. Constance on Lake Constance is also within reach. For a wider selection, distance learning combined with the affordable cost of living in the southern Black Forest is a smart approach.

Frequently asked questions about studying in Waldshut

Yes. FHM is open to students from Switzerland. The border location makes the campus particularly attractive for Swiss students looking to complete a German degree at lower tuition rates.

It helps. Public transport in the Upper Rhine region is limited. A bicycle suffices for getting around town, but a car is useful for excursions and reaching practice partners.

You study in very small groups with close contact to lecturers. There is no typical campus life, no student canteen, and minimal nightlife. In return, you benefit from the Black Forest's natural setting and lower living costs.
