University management

Good study conditions do not arise by chance – the university management works every day to ensure they are consistently maintained. It facilitates study, research and teaching by supporting the academic departments.

Who is the Chancellor?

Lawyer and designer

Since March 2024, Ulrich Pietsch has been serving as Chancellor, overseeing the academic support departments at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences. The administrative lawyer passed his second state law examination in 2004. Pietsch first worked at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences in 2006 and returned to the university in November 2009 after a period practising as a solicitor in his own firm.

Strategic priorities

Studying and working in different circumstances

As a university committed to work-life balance, we support students and staff in balancing their studies and work with their individual circumstances. We are certified as a family-friendly organisation.

Digitalisation of the university

User-friendly tools are one aspect of digitalisation. This requires simplifying the necessary bureaucratic processes so that the focus is on users rather than regulations.

A culture of welcome

As a university, we are closely connected to our town and our region. At the same time, people from over 100 countries come together on the Mittweida campus. We welcome them and provide them with personalised support.
