German University of Applied Sciences (Deutsche Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften, DHAW) is a private, state-recognised university of applied sciences based in Potsdam, Brandenburg. Founded in 2022, it started teaching in 2023 and focuses on German-language distance-learning programmes. The university offers a broad portfolio of online bachelor’s degrees and MBA programmes, designed for flexible full-time or part-time study alongside work. Its model emphasises remote learning, coaching and support, and the ability to start studies with a high level of time independence. Because it is a relatively new institution and operates primarily as an online university, prospective students should carefully check accreditation details, programme structure, and recognition requirements for their intended career path.
