About FHH
Friedrich Heimerer Hochschule (FHH) is a private university of applied sciences in founding phase, legally registered in Erfurt, Thüringen. It is part of the broader Heimerer educational group — established in 1980 by Friedrich Heimerer — which operates nearly 40 vocational and specialist schools across Germany.
The Hochschule is developing two part-time bachelor's degree programmes in health-related fields delivered in a semi-virtual format, with in-person instruction at study centres in multiple German states. The first programme (Health Care, B.A.) completed accreditation in 2024; the second (Sportphysiotherapie, B.Sc.) was still in the accreditation process as of 2024.
Study operations are scheduled to begin in autumn 2026. Until state recognition as a Hochschule (Fachhochschule) is formally granted by the Thuringia Ministry for Economy, Science and Digital Society, enrolment has not opened. Detailed tuition fees, admission requirements, and application deadlines had not been published as of the research date.
