Hochschule Fresenius is one of Germany's oldest private universities of applied sciences. It traces its roots to the chemistry laboratory and lab school that Carl Remigius Fresenius founded in 1848. Its historic home is Idstein in the Taunus hills near Frankfurt, where chemistry, biology and health programmes are still taught, and it now has campuses in many German cities.

Fresenius teaches business and management, psychology, media, health and therapy, chemistry and biosciences, and fashion and design. Most programmes are taught in German. The main English-taught options are the BA International Business Management, a full-time MBA, and a small group of international master's in management, industrial engineering, e-commerce and health economics.
