Hello Hozan,
applied science is more practical than a 'normal' university. Therefore the classes are smaller, you have direct contact with your teachers and apply the theory from class in different projects and assignments. The Bachelor degrees at a university of applied sciences take 4 years, but it includes an internship and a semester abroad, therefore you are not really 'wasting' a year. Hope I could help you! If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me. Best, Juli
