History

Hochschule Düsseldorf, University of Applied Sciences (HSD), was established on August 1, 1971, through the merger of several regional educational institutions. This consolidation aimed to create a comprehensive institution offering a wide range of applied sciences programs. Over the years, HSD has expanded its academic offerings and facilities, becoming one of the largest universities of applied sciences in North Rhine-Westphalia. In 2015, the institution underwent a rebranding, changing its name from Fachhochschule Düsseldorf to Hochschule Düsseldorf to reflect its broad spectrum of disciplines and its commitment to practical, application-oriented education.^[3]
