Hamm-Lippsdat University of Applied Sciences is a public university located in North Rhine-Westphalia. It is a applied science University. It was found in 2009, and named after its two locations in Hamm & Lippstadt. This university mainly focused on STEM.
Currently 4700 students are studying at the two locations in 14 bachelor and 10 master's programs.[2]
In May 2007, North Rhine-Westphalia's Minister-President Jürgen Rüttgers announced an initiative to counteract the growing shortage of skilled workers, particularly in engineering subjects.[2]
Twenty-two cities, regions, and existing universities of applied sciences applied for the locations of a total of three new universities of applied sciences in North Rhine-Westphalia. The cities of Hamm and Lippstadt submitted a joint application. On November 28, 2008, their application was accepted by cabinet decision. The law came into force with its promulgation on April 21, 2009.[3] On September 21, 2009, courses began at both locations.
In contrast to the traditional division into faculties, Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences is organized into departments. This is intended to facilitate interdisciplinary teaching and research.[4]
