Information for prospective students
Students rate HNEE as one of the best smaller universities in Germany. Ranked 10th among the most popular universities with fewer than 5,000 students, they secured the "StudyCheck Award 2026" for HNEE. The ranking is based on an evaluation by the comparison portal "StudyCheck" and thus on the ratings of the students themselves. The result reflects the personal learning atmosphere, the close exchange between students and lecturers, and the interdisciplinary orientation of the degree programmes at HNEE. At the same time, it underlines the importance of the nature-oriented campus in Eberswalde and confirms the university's claim to combine science, sustainability and social responsibility.
We are delighted that you have shortlisted a degree programme at the University for Sustainable Development.
