The University of Kassel/ Witzenhausen offers students the opportunity to specialize in ecological agricultural sciences right at the beginning of their studies. The university's experimental farm, the Hessian state domain Frankenhausen, offers students insights into arable farming, animal husbandry and vegetable cultivation in ecological management. In addition, the university has greenhouses and a facility for solar and irrigation technology.
In plant production, Witzenhausen, along with the University of Halle, is one of the best rated universities in this core area. Some students explain this rating with an extensive range of excursion opportunities and project work, as well as the connection of the teaching and experimental farm. In the area of animal production, the university ranks in the middle, but was able to improve its 2010 score by 0.4. The focus on economics 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 has the best grade of all the 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 outstanding!"
The University of Witzenhausen is characterized by a high level of satisfaction among its own students, which may be due in no small part to the fact that they identify particularly well with the faculty's ecological orientation. For some students, it is quite clear why the evaluation for Witzenhausen is so positive: "Well, it's just ecological!"
