Mission Statement
As a modern university, we’re all about innovation, creativity, and forward momentum. Right in the heart of Augsburg, we’re ideally placed to bring business, society, and politics together and spark real connections. Add to that Augsburg’s prime location in the middle of Bavaria, and you get an incredibly attractive hub for both cutting-edge research and dynamic industry.
International Role
We’re the only university in Bavaria (southern Germany) with such a strong international focus, built on close partnerships with universities around the world and extensive support for international students. For incoming students, we offer dedicated international programs like the International Module in Design, and since 2012 we’ve been hosting an annual International Design Week, bringing together students and faculty from universities across the globe.
National Role
Our goal is to strengthen the exchange between business and society through creativity and fresh, innovative ideas. Thanks to our central location in Augsburg, we’re perfectly positioned to serve as a hub connecting the economy, society, and politics. With Augsburg right in the heart of Bavaria, it’s an especially attractive place for both industry and research.
Through partnerships with more than 30 universities worldwide, we offer exciting exchange opportunities as well as internships. We also draw on our close collaborations with regional and national design agencies and cultural institutions, and we regularly take part in Germany’s leading design competitions. In 2014, the Faculty of Design was even voted one of the world’s top 30 design schools.
