Life in Hof and the region

A great place to study – and to experience life beyond the classroom

Our main campus is located in the city Hof, a safe and cozy town located at the top of Bavaria and in the heart of Europe. Hof has about 45,000 inhabitants and offers all amenities of a university town: cinemas, a theater, an annual film festival and a variety of cafés, bars and clubs.

Our second campus in Münchberg is located about 20 kilometers from Hof and can easily be reached with our free semester bus and train ticket. Münchberg is a traditional center for textile education and has retained all charms of a small town. We also have a campus in Kronach and a learning site in Selb.

Our region shows the second-highest industrial density across Europe, many of them specialized in manufacturing machinery and plastic (automobile) parts, ceramics and textiles. Many of these companies are small and medium sized and so-called hidden champions in their field and offer great opportunities for internships and entry jobs.

During your stay here, you can enjoy a wide range of activities in the area. Hof's and Münchberg's green surroundings are ideal for all outdoor activities (biking, climbing, skiing,...) and major cities like Berlin, Prague or Munich are within easy reach by train or bus. Thus, you have the opportunity to not only study in a practice-oriented environment but also enjoy life outside the classroom.
