Academics

Since 2007 the university has been restructured and has now 3 faculties reflecting the three subjects in its name: technology, business and design:

Faculty of Engineering (Mechanical, Process and Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electronics and Multimedia Engineering, Maritime Studies)
Faculty of Business (Business Administration, Business Law, Business Informatics) also called Wismar Business School
Faculty of Design (Design, Architecture, Interior Architecture, Communication Design)

The university offers more than 50 courses, including distance learning courses via its subsidiary WINGS-university.
