The Evangelische Hochschule Nürnberg (EVHN) – Lutheran University of Applied Sciences – has study programs in the social sciences, social and health economics, health and care, as well as child development, education, and theology. Our university’s educational approach is centred on the Christian concept of man. In addition to the sound academic foundations of our instruction, research, professional and continuing education programs, we also offer lectures in the areas of spirituality, personality-building, and general education. In addition to their academic coursework and final qualification, students are encouraged to reflect on their own person and ethical questions in their career and in society and to take responsibility for their personal actions in those contexts.

The manageable size of the university, with 1,500 students and small study groups, allows for a personal cooperation between lecturers and students. As a state-approved university of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria, the EVHN is part of a network of reputable institutions in education and in practice both in Germany and abroad.

All are welcome to study at our university, irrespective of ideology or religious background.
