System accreditation enables higher education institutions to demonstrate comprehensive internal quality assurance and development of the study programmes they offer in order to be able to accredit them themselves in the future - without the involvement of external agencies. At the end of the multi-stage procedure, in the course of which a commissioned agency assesses the university's internal quality management according to the principle of peer review, the quality seal of the Accreditation Council is awarded.
The HNU passed this procedure in the scheduled time and without any conditions: The assessing agency ZEvA (Central Evaluation and Accreditation Agency, Hanover) certified the university's fulfilment of both formal and subject-related criteria; the Accreditation Council granted the system accreditation retroactively from 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2031.

This will advance the transfer of knowledge and technology to digital and sustainable value creation systems in the North Swabia region.
The Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts (StMWK) has granted HNU the independent right to award doctorates for an initial period of seven years within the framework of a doctoral center successfully applied for jointly with OTH Amberg-Weiden and HaW Landshut. This allows early-career researchers to pursue their doctorates directly at HNU.
Library expansion: With the extension on the first floor, HNU students not only have an additional 295 square meters of learning and working space available in the library, but they also benefit from longer opening hours, some of which are unmanned.
