{{lang|de|Fachhochschulen}} were first founded in the early 1970s. They do not focus exclusively on technology, but may also offer courses in social science, medicine, business and design. They grant bachelor's degrees and master's degrees and focus more on teaching than research and more on specific professions than on science.

In 2009/10, there existed about 200 {{lang|de|Fachhochschulen}} in Germany.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.destatis.de/jetspeed/portal/cms/Sites/destatis/Internet/DE/Content/Statistiken/BildungForschungKultur/Hochschulen/AktuellZusatz, templateId=renderPrint.psml#Fussnote1|title=Startseite&nbsp;-&nbsp;Statistisches Bundesamt (Destatis)|work=destatis.de}}</ref> See the [[:de:Liste der Fachhochschulen in Deutschland|German Wikipedia]] for a list.

;Technische Universität
{{main|Technische Hochschule}}
''Technische Universität'' (abbreviation: ''TU'') is the common term for universities of technology. These institutions can grant habilitation and doctoral degrees and focus on research.

The nine largest and most renowned ''Technische Universitäten'' in Germany have formed [[TU9|TU9 German Institutes of Technology]] as community of interests. Technische Universitäten normally have faculties or departements of natural sciences and often of economics but can also have units of cultural and social sciences and arts. RWTH Aachen, TU Dresden and TU München also have a faculty of medicine associated with [[Teaching hospital|university hospitals]] ([[Klinikum Aachen]], University Hospital Dresden, [[Rechts der Isar Hospital]]).

There are 20 universities of technology in Germany with about 290,000 students enrolled. The three states of [[Bremen (state)|Bremen]], [[Mecklenburg-Vorpommern]] and [[Schleswig-Holstein]] do not have a ''Technische Universität''. [[Saxony]] and [[Lower Saxony]] have the highest counts of ''TUs'', while in Saxony three out of four universities are universities of technology.
