With interesting vocational qualifying courses of studies, innovative teaching formats, the promotion of competence transfer and the prospect of interesting professional fields in the region, many prospective students should be enthusiastic about the HTW Dresden. In the future I would like to work intensively with all members of the university on the sustainability of the course programs," says Prof. Katrin Salchert.
