Technische Hochschule Lübeck (THL) is a technical university of applied sciences located in the hanseatic city of Lübeck in northern Germany. The TH Lübeck fulfills two roles at its regional location as a university of applied sciences (HAW): first, it collaborates with local businesses on application-oriented research and development, and second, it prepares future professionals through teaching that is practice-oriented. At TH Lübeck, the concept of knowledge transfer is fairly broad and encompasses both conventional knowledge and technology transfer efforts and social transmission.
35 degree programs are available here at THL, including 21 Bachelor's and 14 Master's degree options. The university has 5,164 students enrolled, including 1,655 women (as of Winter Semester 2020–21). The Technical University of Lübeck is a center for technical-scientific research, teaching, and learning that is application-oriented. The terms "technology," "resources," and "living environments" depict the TH Lübeck's professional profile. Three fundamental promises serve as the profile's foundation: the promises of content, quality, and culture. The second level of the plan outlines 16 fields of action in the three central promises that will be used to carry out this positioning. In this manner, the approach is put into practice through specific action rather than remaining in the abstract.
As part of the European mobility initiative Erasmus+, the Technical University of Lübeck maintains partnership agreements with other universities in Europe. The Technical University of Lübeck collaborates with universities in China, the United States, India, Ukraine, Morocco, Thailand, and Jordan in addition to the Erasmus+ program. Rarely does a trip overseas fall through for financial reasons. For students and staff at the Technical University of Lübeck, there are several funding alternatives available, including the DAAD, Shanghai Scholarship, Zhejiang Scholarship, etc.
