The University of Kassel/Witzenhausen offers students the opportunity to specialize in organic agricultural sciences at the beginning of their studies. The university's experimental farm, the Hessian state domain Frankenhausen, offers students insights into arable farming, livestock farming and vegetable growing under organic management. The university also has greenhouses and a facility for solar and irrigation technology.
In plant production, Witzenhausen is one of the best rated universities in this core area, alongside the University of Halle. Some students explain this assessment with a comprehensive range of excursion opportunities and project work as well as the connection to the teaching and experimental farm. In the area of animal production, the university ranks in the middle of the field, but was able to improve its result from 2010 by 0.4. The business focus also achieved an improvement on the last ranking, but only by 0.2. The Department of Agricultural Engineering received an outstanding rating from its students. With a grade of 1.5, the University of Witzenhausen achieved the best marks of all universities. One student explains: "We have a top lecturer in agricultural engineering. He picks up the students where they are with their knowledge. The workshop equipment and the agricultural engineering campus are excellent!"
The University of Witzenhausen is characterized by a high level of satisfaction among its own students, which may be due not least to the fact that they can identify particularly well with the ecological orientation of the faculty. For some students, it is quite clear why the assessment of Witzenhausen is so positive: "Well, it's just ecological!"
