A '''{{Lang|de|Fachhochschule}}''' ({{IPA-de|ˈfaxhoːxʃuːlə|lang|Fachhochschule.ogg}}; plural {{Lang|de|Fachhochschulen}}), abbreviated '''FH''', is a [[university of applied sciences]] ('''UAS'''), in other words a [[Hochschule|German tertiary education institution]] that provides [[professional education]] in many applied sciences and applied arts, such as engineering, technology, business, architecture, design, and [[industrial design]].

{{Lang|de|Fachhochschulen}} were first founded in Germany and were later adopted in [[Austria]], [[Liechtenstein]], [[Switzerland]], [[Cyprus]], and [[Greece]]. An increasing number of {{Lang|de|Fachhochschulen}} are abbreviated as ''Hochschule'', the generic term in Germany for institutions awarding academic degrees in higher education, or expanded as ''Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften (HAW)'', the German translation of "universities of applied sciences", which were primarily designed with a focus on teaching professional skills. This is reflected in the fact that the ratio of the number of students to the number of professors is significantly better than at traditional universities. However, there are also a number of subjects, such as social work or the legal sub-discipline of social law, which are traditionally underrepresented at traditional universities. In these areas, universities of applied sciences make a significant contribution to research. UAS professors are also increasingly attracting national and international third-party funding. To support their research activities, they can apply for a significant reduction in their teaching load. [[Swiss law]] calls {{Lang|de|Fachhochschulen}} and universities "separate but equal".<ref name=HEdA/>
