The HSZG is one of the top universities of applied sciences in Germany in terms of research strength and ranks among the top 3 percent in the external funding ranking. KIA students begin working at companies from day one, gaining valuable professional experience, and 95 percent complete their studies in record time.

The HSZG collaborates with more than 100 partner companies and regularly organizes events such as training networks and conferences to discuss future opportunities for collaboration and ways to improve training. This strong network underscores the high level of acceptance and trust within the industry.

The HSZG is located in the heart of Europe. Thanks to its close proximity to "Silicon Saxony" and the Saxon semiconductor clusters, the region is a hotspot for innovation.

Thanks to the KIA model, students become part of the company for several years right from the start, which results in a high level of identification, long-term loyalty, lower drop-out rates and fewer wrong appointments.

Our own 'Studienkolleg' (preparatory college) in Zittau offers international applicants from around the world language and academic preparation before they begin their studies. This helps your company secure its own international talent pipeline.

By dovetailing professional practice and studies, our students develop a deep understanding of the interrelationships. Long onboarding phases are eliminated and they can be put to productive use quickly.
